--not only in that pre-diabetic, or sometimes even diabetic, neuropathy can be reversed with good blood sugar control and a wisely chosen supplement regimen, but that good blood sugar control is vital for any of us who have neuropathic symptoms even if we have excellent glucose profiles and neuropathy from another source.

Just as most of us with neuropathy--for any reason--are more prone to compressive effects on nerves than "normal" people would be (sort of an "additive damage" sometimes referred to in the medical literature as the "double crush phenomenon"), many of us are also more prone to effects from anything that compromises vascular function, such as a high blood sugar level, even if that is transient. (We also tend to feel more symptoms from known nerve "irritants" such as gliadin or alcohol.)

I'm often said that those of us with neuropathy should treat ourselves as if we are high-inflammation diabetics, even if we're not, and eat in such a way as to normalize blood sugar, eliminate trans and saturated fats, not smoke or drink, etc. Our whole bodies would be the healthier for it.
