OP: Looking at all you posted what stood out was A1C as being high, to me that's not high. Mine is usually 5.5 to 5.6 or so.

You mention a lot of standards, well I'm not a big fan of lab numbers, we are symptoms. And your thyroid could be sluggish and might need some help, as I've been that route a long while ago, and it was hard as the docs kept telling me my numbers are good...then a great ole D.O. in my life gave me desiccated thyroid support and no labs nadda, he knew, he was from the old school of symptoms. This changed my life at that time.

Today's docs sadly follow the numbers.

I can tell you Inosine works good for me with neuropathy pain/tingle.

Grape Seed Extract has done wonders to keep my Immune System strong. Strong Immune System is important to fight off all that may come our way.

There is a lot of information here and I'm just touching on a couple as I see it. Do a lot of reading around here.,
