Will Lowering Your A1C Reverse Your Neuropathy?

Will lowering your A1C reverse your neuropathy? The honest answer: lowering A1C alone won't fully reverse nerve damage — but that's not the whole story. Dr. Fitz breaks down what nerve recovery actually looks like: where partial reversal is real, where it isn't, and why the stage you're in when you start changes everything. Drawing on research in pre-diabetic neuropathy, A1C variability, and the multi-hit model of nerve damage, this video walks through what the evidence supports and what you can do in the next 90 days.

What you'll learn in this video

  • Why the reversal window is widest in pre-diabetes — and narrows fast
  • The study showing small nerve fibers can actually regrow in the skin
  • Large-fiber vs. small-fiber damage: why recovery differs
  • Metabolic memory — why early control creates a lasting advantage
  • Why glycemic variability and post-meal spikes matter more than your average
  • The multi-hit model — triglycerides, HDL, visceral fat, and insulin resistance
  • The 4 nutrient pathways that support nerve repair, plus a 90-day action plan
