oh yeah, as far as i know the best way to get rid of Prediabetes, is diet and exercise, get rid of the cause, the glucose lowering drugs won't and nerves don't heal quickly, it takes many months to years.
best of luck,

Hi Brian,
Thanks for answering me. I did have a 4 hr. glucose tolerance test that said I was "barely in the range" of pre-diabetes. I then did a 2 Hr. glucose tolerance test a year or so later that said I was completely normal. And I agree, it might be the cause, or part of the cause, but because of all the other unexplained stuff, I want to push for other things too.
As for exercise, it is hard as the foot problems keeps me from moving around much, but I try to do as much as I can. As for diet, I have always eaten well, which is something that annoys me. It doesn't seem fair that I have this problem when the people who Chug nothing but soda and eat tons of sugar/candy are perfectly fine. (I know it's possible, but it's just a gripe of mine. Sorry.
)
