Default diabetic neuropathy??

Thanks..

Last year my bloodwork showed elevated sugar, but no formal diabetes diagnosis ..

This year when PN flared up about a month ago, I was on a low carb diet trying to loose weight.. (I am about 40lbs overweight)..

When the doctor ordered bloodwork , everything came back fine. My question is:

Is it possible that , my elevated sugars already did the damage to my nerves, by the time I switched over to a low carb diet , so that the bloodwork could not detect any diabetes/prediabetes ?

I have a doctors appointment this week, and I am trying to formulate the right questions to ask, as some of the primary care doctors are quite dismissive about neuropathy
