You have type 2 diabetes, just because you take insulin does not mean you have type 2. Take the medicine. Is your nephew prescribing it for you? It's not a good idea to have family members as your physician, also you should be seeing an endocrinologist, it sounds like you're not taking care of yourself if you already have neuropathy after 8 years!

first of all u r a type 2 diabeic unless u have a rare LADA.diabetic neuropathy has many medications.latest doesn't mean the best medication.first line drugs would be amitryptiline and gabapentin.what is the drug in OXRATE.u need to try the above drugs in full therapeutic doses.oxrate could be gabapentin.if it is so,then the optimal dose would be 1800 mg /d .consider changing to another if this does not work.pregaba is pregabalin and should be given indoses of 300-600 for good therapeutic benefit.must be started with 75mg and increased by 75 weekly.if ur neuropathy is localized to soles ,capsiacin local application,is a good adjunct.u may try it.hope this info helps.dont change drugs with suboptimal doses otherwise u will end up without benefit with any of the drugs.

Type 1 diabetes is juvenile onset. If you have had diabetes for only 8 years and are 62 years old then you must have type 2 insulin dependent diabetes.
I am not a doctor. Try what your nephew says then let us know what happens.

If your nephew is an MD, why are you asking here? You must not trust him very much. Either way, you should be seeing and treated by an endocrinologist, just the same. You seem to be the sort that would trust a total stranger more than you would someone growing up in front of you.
