That is very interesting: a good friend of mine suffers from microscopic polyarteritis nodosa (MPA) which was only discovered 10 months ago after an almost fatal renal failure. I remember repeatedly discussing PN - and nutrition in general - with her, and I'm now making a few internal "clicks".
The short of it is that we both seem to highly benefit from:

Dr. Smith, do you remember ever having your fasting insulin level measured back then?
In any case, it seems it's not unusual for some types of PN for the body to
respond like you are diabetic, even if you are not. So if you are borderline diabetic like the OP, you might certainly benefit from a non-inflammatory diet - beyond the fact that you would just feel healthier.
