The supplements were administered daily for 4 months. A questionnaire measured neuropathy symptoms. After 4 months of supplementation, groups 1 and 2 showed a significant improvement in symptoms. Thus, this study suggests that micronutrient supplementation may ameliorate diabetic neuropathy symptoms.
