I have read that Glucose Intolerance can be a marker for small fiber neuropathy. I believe Fasting Blood sugar can be ok, but GIT test can show a problem, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Here is a link that illustrates some abnormal GTT results:

Remember low readings also starve nerve endings, as well as high readings which show glucose is not getting into cells either.
Low and High are both implicated in insulin resistance.
This gets complicated. Typically called impaired glucose tolerance. After a period of low blood sugar a healthy liver then provides glucose thru gluconeogenesis, and this may overcompensate and raise levels again, hours after a GTT.
