Ya know, way back you insisted upon *, telling me diabetes gave me small fiber neuropathy. Without really knowing my situation. I don't even have pre diabetes. I have had endocrine and heart levels extensively tested for 6 years before I even developed my SFN. Never an issue with glucose.
With all due respect i wish you would do a little more research on this without throwing out such matter of fact claims. Studies show that diabetes related issues are a large component - but around half of all cases. The other half is a smorgasbord of illnesses. So, to make out like "eh, it's probably something to do with blood sugar". Is irresponsible. Just looking at this board will show you that the causes are a wide spectrum.Not even remotely as simple as you make it out to be.
