Have you had a Glucose Tolerance test or just the fasting Glucose test ? as a fasting glucose test is useless for testing for Prediabetes, which can cause the same nerve problems as a full blown diabetic.
good luck with the neuro appointment anyway.

thanks everyone I have cut back significantly (really) and am trying my best to get sober. over the last few days the burning has cut back dramatically and I assume its through rigorous consumption of suppliments over a 2 month period?. One question, is 500 mcg mecobalamin. the same as
methylcobalamin ? slightly diff spelling but its what my neuro in Thailand gave me and its a tiny white sugar coated tablet to take twice daily
