Between my body type, cholesterol levels and other criteria, I was not considered a diabetes risk. If not for the SFN, I would have never requested the OGTT and done the self-monitoring.

That being said, I still don't know what is going on, and I probably won't unless I go to an endocrinologist. All I know for sure is that my glucose levels run high under certain circumstances for prolonged periods of time, and that can cause the nerve issues associated with SFN.
