I think my neuro said it all on my last visit to him with these few words " nerves will not repair in the wrong inviroment ",

I don't know how many times i have read on the old BT that doc's haven't a clue whats causing the members PN, because all normal tests have showed nothing, but when asking if their had a 3 -5 hour glucose tolerance test, there has been a few no's, but they say " the doc has checked for diabetes so it can't be anything to do with diabetes ". yeah right.

I believe that it is very possible for a person that has PN and is prediabetic can reverse the damage that has been done to their nerves, by eating & drinking properly with high fibre low GI foods, plenty of water which i think is extreemly important to our health, a sensible amount of exercise, and plenty of vitamin B & B12, & any other supplements that haved proved to be helpfull, repairing time would have to vary depending on the amount of damage that has been done.
It makes me wonder how many people out there that are suffering purely because they just haven't been tested properly, early in my PN days i had a neuro that done a NC Test wrote a letter back to my GP which said " your patient shows no signs of Peripheral Neuropathy as we conducted a Nerve Conduction Test and nothing showed up ", even though i kept on telling him that i felt that my feet were on fire, also i was sent to a rheumo' that didn't send me for any tests at all, and also wrote back saying " i can't find anything wrong with your patient ", i asked him at the time that i would like to be sent to a neuro, " he said no way what for ? you don't show any sign of nerve damage" as he looked at the Nerve conduction test that idiot neuro done , these so called specialists actually get paid for this, what a joke.

I never in a million years would have thought i had anything to do with Diabetes, i had no [known] family history of diabetes on both sides and thats going back 3 generations, but the gene factor is present with me as my Aunt suffered many years with Neuritis in her face.
