Thanks for the link to the 'jabfm' article - very interesting.
Makes me wonder why more doctors don't order the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test for people with PN - the usual HBA1c test (with normal results) doesn't seem adequate to pick up sub-clinical diabetes. It also seems that in some cases PN is an early warning sign that some people may go on to develop clinical diabetes. At the very least some of those given the idiopathic PN label could be helped by having this test.
I'll keep this info in mind when I finally get to see a neuro next week - not that I can see them having much interest in diabetes - I'll probably just get the idiopathic label.
