What is the recommended treatment option for diabetic neuropathy?

  1. Pregabalin

  2. Acetaminophen

  3. Ibuprofen

  4. Sertraline

The correct answer is: Pregabalin

Pregabalin is the recommended treatment option for diabetic neuropathy due to its efficacy in managing neuropathic pain in diabetic patients. Pregabalin, an anticonvulsant medication, works by decreasing the number of pain signals that are sent out by damaged nerves. It is specifically FDA-approved for the treatment of diabetic nerve pain. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen are usually not as effective for managing neuropathic pain. Sertraline is an antidepressant that may be used for neuropathic pain in some cases, but it is not the first-line treatment for diabetic neuropathy.
