Silverlady,
Let me add a recent article from A. Gordon Smith's group in Utah which has been a leader in the arena of diet & exercise and the affect on small fiber neuropathies, IGT and prediabetes. They, and others now claim that up to
~40% of all idiopathic PN's are characterized by impaired FG and/or OGT results. I've been following this work for a while and trying to incorpoarate the recommendations into my own lifestyle since my last OGT was 139 which a local neurologist declared was normal (technically, she is absolutely correct) but my repsonse was that if it had been 140 you would tell me that I'm prediabetic.
