Basedon what you are describing in terms of measure you are certainly insulin resistant and have imparied glucose tolerance. If you arenot diabetic youare likley borderline diabetic.

According to a 2 hour glucose and insulin test the ranges should be...

Glucose
normal - Fasting less than 100; 2 hours after eating less than 140
Diabetes - fasting grater than 126; 2 hours after eating greater than 267

Anywhere bewteen these levels is impaired tolerance.

Have they suggested any meds or changes to your diet?

On the neuropathy front have they tested your B12? I would get that tested before supplemtning to get a baseline and if its low it could be contibuting.

Hope this helps.
