Hi,
I want to also join in this discussion, because I do not understand this glucose business
the neurologist that did diagnose my neuropathy by EMG and NCS, also did some blood tests to find the cause of the neuropathy. Included was a 3 hour glucose tolerence test.
I was a little surprised, because the doctor kept on saying that my 1 hour glucose reading of 187 was too high. In the lab results, all my results were within normal. The normal for the 1 hour reading was < 200.
Even at later visits with this doctor, he points this out. He said that any time the glucose goes above 140, the nerves will be affected. I understand this. But I also point out that normally, we do not take in that much glucose during a meal as that heavy glucose dring you are given in the lab.
For this reason the doctor should not point out that this is the reason for my neuropathy.
I even went to an Endocrenologist for his response tho the Glucose tolerence result, he said, they are all normal. I have had Hgb A 1C tested twice since, and it is perpectly normal.
Does this have any thing to do with what you were discussing, or am I wrong?
thanks for your time reading this
