I'm not sure. My neuro
(head of the dept @ Hopkins) is adamant about pre-diabetic causes, and when he saw that I was hospitalized
(2000) for pancreatitis due to an alcoholic binge
(I was self medicating with booze, had been suffering for years, & mis-diagnosed until that hospitalization) and
Bingo !
'Alcoholic Neuropathy'.........Go no further.
I'm,
AN &
pre-diabetic (high normal range).
Supposedly, he says I do not fit the mold for hereditary(?) Even tho I'm of Ashkenazic Middle-European Descent.(?)
My PCP has given me other tests that I requested
(celiac, etc- she works with me), but do not know if I've ever had these two specific tests.
I'll have to ask her, and if not, get them done-but I do not have dry eyes. Crusty at times, but my ophthalmologist says its due to
blephemitis and
MRSA.
(from when I spent 3 mos visiting my son in hosp. - daily. I Caught it from him. He caught it in the hosp.).
