Default Pre-diabetes, small fiber neuropathy

HI, I am a newbie. Diagnosed as pre-diabetic 1.5 weeks ago. I have burning feet. Also some in arms. I am awaiting skin biopsy results from Cleveland Clinic any day. Doctor suspects SFN. I have been having symptoms for about 10-12 weeks. I am 46 year old male 5'9" 168 lbs (have lost 18 lbs in this time from worry & stress). My glucose tolerance test came back at 180. I am otherwise pretty healthy-no smoking-2 glasses of wine on Saturdays-eat my share of junk food. I don't really understand how I got here. I am taking gabapentin 300mg twice a day- helps some. I am very depressed and scared and am also taking an anti-depressant for the 1st time in my life-1 a day very low dose. I have also decided to win this battle. I am excercising daily and have started watching my carbs and diet. I am looking for guidance on what I should expect and possible supplements that might help. Can my nerves heal? Thanks in advance for any advice!
