Hello and thanks for reply.
The Dr that did nerve conduction test said
It was not diabetic neuropathy, all nerves
Worked and none were slow.

In addition the numbness is on the
Bottom frount of the foot and toes
But not the top of the foot.

Have had bouts of gout. One Dr
Said there was some arthritis and
Some osteoarthritis.

Also been tested for rheumatoid arthritis
And lupus....both neg.

But my sed rate was high at 31
Also platelets are slightly low.

Yes, use metformin, but supplement
With b complex.
