If your diabetic neuropathy is getting worse at night, this is not bad luck.
It may be a sign that something silent is destroying your nerves from the inside.
Thousands of people with painful diabetic neuropathy are doing everything right —
controlling blood sugar, taking medications, following their doctor's advice —
and still waking up at 2 or 3 AM with burning, stabbing pain that won't stop.
A group of neurologists discovered a hidden biochemical mechanism that may explain
why neuropathy pain at night gets so much worse — and why most treatments never reach
the real problem. Watch the short explanation below.
Thousands of people with painful diabetic neuropathy are doing everything right — controlling
blood sugar, taking medications, following their doctor's advice — and still waking up at 2 or 3 AM
with burning, stabbing pain that won't stop.
There's a reason for that. And it has nothing to do with your willpower, your diet,
or how well you manage your diabetes.
You already know what diabetic neuropathy is. You've lived with it.
The burning that starts in your feet when the house goes quiet. The electric shocks that shoot up
your legs without warning. The feeling of walking on gravel when you're standing on flat carpet.
The nights you lie still, trying not to move, because even the sheets touching your feet is too much.
And you already know that diabetic neuropathy gets worse at night. Every neurologist confirms this.
But very few explain clearly why — or what to do about it beyond increasing your medication.
That fear is real. And it is not irrational.

But here is what most people are never told: Painful diabetic neuropathy does
not always progress because your blood sugar is out of control. In many cases, it progresses
even when glucose levels are managed. And the reason for that is something happening
inside the nerve itself — something that standard treatments simply do not address.
Why Does Neuropathy Pain Get Worse at Night?
The standard answer is: "Less distraction, more awareness of pain."
That is partially true. But it is not the full picture.
Research published in the Journal of Diabetes and its Complications points to a
different direction. A specific enzyme — identified as MMP-13 — appears to
play a central role in progressive nerve fiber damage in people with diabetic neuropathy.
Here is the chain of events, explained simply:
1
Chronic deficiency of B1, B9, and B12 vitamins — extremely common in
diabetic patients — triggers an uncontrolled increase in MMP-13 enzyme activity.
2
MMP-13 degrades the myelin sheath — the protective layer that surrounds
and insulates your nerve fibers. Think of it like the plastic coating on an electrical wire.
3
When that coating wears away, the wire doesn't work properly —
it short-circuits. It sends the wrong signals. It fires when it shouldn't.
4
At night, circulation drops and competing signals disappear — leaving
those exposed nerve fibers sending their distorted signals into silence.
There is nothing to compete with them.
That is what creates the burning. The stabbing. The electric shocks.
The feeling that your foot is on fire while it feels cold to the touch.
"My doctor wants to increase my gabapentin again, but I'm already taking 900mg and it barely helps. I'm desperate for something that actually works."
Ronica J., Milwaukee
This is why increasing gabapentin dose often does not solve the problem at its root.
Gabapentin suppresses the signal. It does not address what is creating the signal
in the first place.
The nerve is not necessarily dead. In many cases, it is inflamed, compressed, and starved of
the nutrients it needs to protect itself.
That distinction matters. Because it changes what you do next.
The Neurologist Who Changed His Own Mind
Dr. Neal Schultz has spent 22 years working specifically with patients who have painful diabetic neuropathy.

"For most of my career, I told patients what every other neurologist tells them:
'We can manage the pain, but we cannot reverse the damage. You'll have to learn to live
with this.' I believed that. And I was wrong — at least for a subset of patients who
still have recoverable nerve function."
"The research around MMP-13 enzyme activity in peripheral neuropathy changed how I approach
treatment. The question is not just 'how do we block the pain signal?' The question is
'why is the nerve sending that signal in the first place — and is there still a window to
address the underlying damage?'"
"What I found — and what the clinical data increasingly supports — is that for patients still
in an early-to-mid stage of neuropathic progression, targeted nutritional support combined
with anti-inflammatory compounds can meaningfully slow or partially reverse the deterioration
of the myelin sheath. Not in every case. But in enough cases that we should be having this
conversation with every patient."
"The window to act is not permanent.
That is the part most people do not understand until it is too late."
Are You Still in a Stage Where Intervention Can Help?
If you answer yes to three or more of the following questions, your neuropathy may still be
in a stage where intervention can make a meaningful difference:
Check Every Symptom That Applies to You
Do you feel burning or electric shocks in your feet or legs, especially at night?
Do your feet feel like they are on fire, even when they feel cold to the touch?
Have you noticed that your neuropathy pain gets worse after sunset, making it hard to sleep?
Do you have random stabbing pain — even when sitting still — that hits without warning?
Have you tried gabapentin, Lyrica, or similar medications and found only partial relief or unacceptable side effects?
Are you worried about your long-term mobility, your independence, or the risk of serious complications including amputation?
Do you feel like you are getting older faster than you should — that your body is failing you after everything you have put into it?
These are real people who tried the usual path.
Most of them had not yet seen the explanation you are about to watch.
"I have had diabetic neuropathy for 6 years. Some days I can barely walk to the mailbox.
The burning pain wakes me up every single night at 2 or 3 AM. I am so tired of doctors just
saying 'it's something you have to live with' and throwing more gabapentin at me.
I just want one good night of sleep."
Jason D., Texas
Night pain is not just a perception issue — there is a biochemical explanation for why it intensifies after dark.
"Anyone else deal with the stabbing pain that shoots up from your feet at random times?
I'll be sitting watching TV and BAM — feels like someone stuck a knife in my foot.
Happens 10 to 15 times a day. Gabapentin helps a little but makes me so foggy I cannot
think straight. I am 67 and feel like I am 90."
Francis P., Texas
"I've tried gabapentin, Lyrica, creams, vitamins. Nothing works. My biggest fear is ending up like my uncle who lost both legs."
Morty P., North Carolina
Frequently Asked Questions
Your doctor is not wrong — in advanced stages, significant nerve fiber loss may be irreversible.
But the key word is "advanced." Emerging research on MMP-13 enzyme activity suggests
that earlier in the progression, the damage is not structural loss of the nerve itself,
but a biochemical environment that is preventing the nerve from functioning and protecting
itself properly. Addressing that environment — rather than just suppressing pain signals —
is what this approach focuses on. The honest answer is: it depends on where you are in your
progression. The video explains how to identify whether you may still be in a stage where
this makes a real difference.
This is one of the most common and legitimate questions. Standard B-vitamin supplements
face a significant challenge: the same biochemical environment that creates the problem —
dominated by elevated MMP-13 activity — also degrades conventional vitamin forms before
they can effectively reach and support the nerve tissue. The approach explained in the video
addresses this specific barrier. It is not about adding more of the same vitamin.
It is about how the vitamin is delivered and what it is combined with to reach
the actual site of damage.
The formulation is made from natural compounds — including Alpha Lipoic Acid, B vitamins,
Coenzyme Q10, Magnesium, and Butcher's Broom — with no prescription-level active ingredients.
It is not designed to replace your current medications and does not interfere with standard
diabetic treatment protocols. That said, as with any supplement, it is always appropriate
to mention it to your physician, especially if your medication regimen is complex.
The formulation is manufactured in a GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility and is
third-party tested for safety and purity.
Yes — and this is actually one of the clearest indicators that what you are experiencing
has a biochemical root, not just a perceptual one. At night, peripheral circulation decreases,
competing neurological signals from movement and activity disappear, and exposed nerve fibers
have nothing to counterbalance their distorted output. The result is that the underlying
damage becomes the loudest signal in the room. The formulation targets the source of that
distortion — the MMP-13-driven degradation of the myelin sheath — rather than simply
masking the signal. Several people who have used it report that nighttime pain is one of
the first things that begins to change.
That is the most important question you can ask — and it is one that the explanation
in the video addresses directly. There are specific indicators — including the pattern
and type of your symptoms, how long you have had them, and how they respond to temperature
and position — that help identify whether recoverable nerve function is still present.
The video was designed specifically to help people in your situation understand where they
are and whether this is something worth pursuing. Watching it costs you nothing.
Not watching it could cost you a window that does not stay open indefinitely.
The formulation combines five key natural compounds, each chosen for a specific reason.
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a potent antioxidant studied extensively for its role in reducing
oxidative stress in peripheral nerve tissue. The B vitamins — in their bioavailable forms
— support myelin sheath integrity and nerve signal conduction. Coenzyme Q10 supports
cellular energy production inside the nerve, which is often depleted in diabetic patients.
Magnesium plays a critical role in nerve transmission and helps regulate the inflammatory
pathways that MMP-13 feeds on. And Butcher's Broom supports peripheral circulation,
which directly affects how well nutrients reach the nerve endings in your feet and legs.
The key is not just what is in it — it is the specific forms and delivery mechanism
that allow these compounds to actually reach the nerve tissue rather than being broken
down before they get there.
Results vary based on how far the neuropathy has progressed and individual biochemistry.
Some people report noticing changes in sleep quality and nighttime pain within the first
few weeks. For others, meaningful improvement may take 6 to 10 weeks as the underlying
nutritional environment in the nerve tissue begins to shift. This is not a pain-blocker
that numbs a symptom overnight — it is an approach aimed at the underlying condition.
That takes time. The 90-day guarantee exists specifically because the people behind this
formulation know that meaningful change requires a full evaluation period, not just a few days.
Painful diabetic neuropathy affects people with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes,
and the MMP-13 enzyme mechanism is not type-specific — it relates to the biochemical
environment that chronic elevated glucose and inflammation create in the nerve tissue,
regardless of the underlying cause of the diabetes. The formulation addresses that
environment rather than the type of diabetes itself, making it relevant across both
presentations. As always, mentioning any new supplement to your physician is appropriate,
particularly if your condition involves additional complexity.
You have tried the medications. You have done the research. You have followed the instructions
and still woken up at 3 AM with feet that feel like they are on fire.
What you may not have seen yet is a clear, logical explanation of why that keeps happening —
and what the research now suggests about addressing it at its source.
That explanation is in the video above. It is free to watch. It is presented by a neurologist
with more than two decades of experience with painful diabetic neuropathy.
And it will take less than fifteen minutes.
After everything you have been through, you deserve at least that.
