(Also noticed those triglycerides are a bit high, speaking of causes of painful small-fiber neuropathy--and often this goes together with impaired glucose tolerance in metabolic syndrome . . .)
Have you had a multi-hour glucose tolerance test lately, with half-hour glucose/insulin level draws? Or the longer-term hemoglobin A1c test?

geesh, what planet is your doc from?.....108 IS NOT normal, by the test standards...pretty straight forward...and one reason for elevated trig. is TOO many calories.....unless you have familial hypertriglyceridemia......looks like you are on the right track....food as medicine, or as in some cases poison....good luck!
ps...if the doc wont do a 3-5 hour glucose tolerance test, ask for a post prandial glucose level and a fasting INSULIN level.....
