Lerch,
I have been checked for diabetes. My glucose hovers at or around 90 (give or take) and my A1C is 5.4 (less than 5.7 is normal). The neurologist ruled out diabetes. My internist will run Thyroid again next time but thyroid has been ruled out. It's not diabetic in nature.
I'm pretty certain it's secondary to alcoholism (my past heavy drinking).
After a 6 week binge over the summer amounting to two liters of vodka a week I noticed these symptoms of burning (and prior to that I drank plenty too).
My neurologist said it could be that, could be idiopathic, but best not to drink if I even think it may be related.
