You asked your primary if he would do a 3 hour glucose test and he said 'NO",

Here's a good question. Have you ever been tested for diabetes, or ANY OTHER INSULIN RESISTANCE disorder??

If not, and you asked your primary doctor to run this test, and he said 'NO to you, it's time to really think about changing primary doctors.

Now if you have had other testing, than maybe your doctor has his reasons, but if not, and you want this test, I'd try and find another guy who would order it for you.

Boy, primary doctors sure have changed, haven't they??

Years ago, when my husband was on his journey to find out WHY he had neuropathy, and he had every test known to man (and he DID have 2 of those glucose tests, one was 3 hours and the other was 6 hours), we went to the primary care doctor. He had been MY doctor for over 10 years.

I then brought in my husband, told the doctor every test he had and the doctor said: "Has he ever had a heavy metal test?" and we said "no", and he barked to his nurse "get this guy a Heavy Metal Test". and she meekly said "Doctor, we don't have one of those in this office".

He looked at her and yelled 'THEN GET ONE".

They got one, Alan took the test, and it came back negative.

My point is, you have to go down every avenue to try and find out WHY.

It's a long journey.

I wish you much luck.

P.S. I will never forget when Alan rubbed Capsaicin on his toes (he has neuropathy between certain toes). Well, it was 2 a.m. and he jumped out of bed and started screaming. This was over 6 years ago when he was on the Fentanyl pain patch. I thought he would die, his feet were on fire.

I ran and got another small 25 patch and slapped it on him. Then he said 'whoa". I then got cool water and soap and washed the capsaicin creme off of his feet.

HE NEVER WENT NEAR THAT STUFF AGAIN.
