Hi Dustin,

Sorry you find yourself here.

I'd like to reiterate Ron's suggestion of requesting an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. I definitely am on the diabetes spectrum despite having perfectly normal Fasting Blood Glucose and A1c results. My problem showed up on the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test as well as home monitoring. If I eat a high carb meal, my blood glucose remains way too high for hours. Still, all my diabetes screening values are normal.

I personally feel anyone who ends up with an idiopathic neuropathy diagnosis should get this test. I know Johns Hopkins is currently doing a clinical study on the effects of even mildly elevated blood sugar and neuropathy. Second one down...

I should add, though, that I have no idea if this is the cause of my neuropathy or not, but it remains a possibility, so I'm taking corrective action with my diet in case it is. Either way, it's good I caught the insulin resistance very early.
