You probably won't find any doctor who will say it's the cause, and it well may not be, but if your glucose is spiking high when you eat carbs, it's certainly not helping matters. High blood glucose is a definite known insult to nerves, although they can't seem to quantify it.
One thing is for sure...improving your diet by cutting back on sugar and carbs in general is certainly going to do you no harm, and may even help you avoid getting that pre-diabetic or diabetic diagnosis some day.
