Dr Fuhrman has a book called End of Diabetes, which is the only book of his I own. His recommendations are plant-based, no oil, just like McDougall, Esselstyn, Novick, and Barnard, except Fuhrman's program seems to be a far stricter protocol with greater emphasis on vegetable intake, and greater emphasis on using legumes as your starch. If it appeals to you, I would read his book.
He has written that diabetic neuropathy is basically nerve damage that happens as diabetes progresses and takes an increasingly big toll on the body. Nerve damage can be reversed, but the time frame is not predictable and the extent to which the nerve damage can be reversed, will vary from person to person.
He nevertheless emphasizes that every month you continue to be diabetic takes additional toll on your body. So he encourages people to be very faithful and very willing to follow a rigorous protocol for the complete reversal of the diabetes. So, even though you have been going in the right direction, maybe there are little areas where you can tighten things up? I dunno. If it were me, I would probably follow Fuhrman's protocol, minus a few of his nonsense recommendations (like I think the G-BOMBS superfoods thing, is just too specific and horrific -- I love mushrooms, but I don't want them every frigging day).
You are obviously doing well, but I too would love to see you fully reverse your diabetes. Perhaps it is worth working with a health professional from True North, or from Fuhrman's team, or working with McDougall's dietitian Jeff Novick? You may need to follow special protocol with your feet in the mean time -- keep them warm but be sure not to burn them -- I dunno really.
Those are my thoughts, for what they're worth! See if anything resonates!
