Default Benfotiamine and SFPN

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum and very happy to see it exists.

Recently I tested with low blood glucose after a 2 hour tolerance test, basically in the range for postprandial hypoglycemia, even though I had a normal fasting glucose before the test. I have been taking Benfotiamine for 4 months because of peripheral neuropathy (now we know it's small fiber PN), likely from something autoimmune. I am wondering if it's possible that the Benfotiamine is having an adverse affect on me, in particular making me hypoglycemic, say like Alpha Lipoic Acid is known to do. It was the first supplement I took and I guess I haven't reassessed things since. I'm having difficulty finding anything on this issue online.

Thanks,
Dave
