In Germany we barely reach for gabapentin for burning feet. It is genuinely a last resort. I spent twenty three years in diabetes medicine in Frankfurt before my husband took a post in Manchester and we moved. I joined a practice here, good doctors and a good team, and within two months I was stunned. Patient after patient with burning, tingling feet. Almost every one on gabapentin or pregabalin. Every one told the same thing. This is what we can offer for the pain, and we will keep an eye on the numbness. Not one of them had been told whether the nerve itself was being fed. That is the part that disturbed me, because in Germany we are taught something in medical school that changes how you approach this entirely. High blood sugar damages nerves. That is true. But it is not the only thing destroying them, and in a diabetic taking metformin it is very often not the main thing. Every nerve running into your foot is wrapped in a protective coating, and your body rebuilds that coating every single day out of vitamin B12. When B12 runs low the coating wears thin, and a bare nerve misfires. That is the burning at three in the morning. Then it stops signalling altogether, and that is the numb patch on your sole. Here is what none of those patients had been told. Metformin lowers vitamin B12. It is printed in the drug's own information. Britain's medicines regulator lists it as a common side effect and warns the risk climbs the longer you have taken it. So the tablet holding the sugar down had been quietly draining the one nutrient those nerves rebuild themselves from, for years. Gabapentin quiets the signal. It does nothing about the starvation underneath it. Which is why people take their tablets, keep their numbers good, watch the HbA1c come down, and still lose the feeling in their feet. The number was never the problem. The starvation is. In Germany we were taught to feed the nerve directly with the active form of B12, methylcobalamin, already converted and ready for the nerve to use. Held under the tongue so it absorbs straight into the bloodstream, rather than swallowed into a stomach that stopped taking up B12 properly years ago. About three months in I went looking for a proper formula here. Chemists, health food shops, everything online. It was all wrong. A few hundred micrograms where the research uses thousands. Cyanocobalamin, the cheap synthetic form, in swallowed tablets that barely arrive. And B12 sold on its own, which stalls halfway, because B6 settles the misfiring, B1 and B3 fuel the repair, B3 opens the tiny vessels feeding the nerve, and folate has to be there or the job never finishes. Nothing I found in Britain met the standard I was used to. Then I found Olvexa. Active methylcobalamin, never the cheap form, a full 5,000 micrograms under the tongue with the whole B complex beside it, and third party testing on every batch. The full explanation is in the video, including why the form and the delivery matter more than the number on the bottle. Two honest things before you watch. A nerve rebuilds slowly. Nothing happens in the first week, and the meaningful part comes in the second and third month. And you do not stop anything. This goes alongside your metformin and alongside whatever else you have been prescribed. One dropper a day. Do not stop gabapentin without speaking to your doctor. Ninety days to decide or your money back.

In Germany, Gabapentin Is A Last Resort. Here Is What We Use Instead.

Metformin lowers B12, and B12 is what rebuilds the coating on your nerves. See why the tablets on British shelves never reach them.
