In the words of old-time radio druggist Mr. Peavey (played by Richard LeGrand),
"Well, now, I wouldn't say that!"
It may be a matter of interpretation, but I wouldn't/don't equate the phrases, "
May Not Be", "
at least not to the high frequency previously reported," and "
not more prevalent in prediabetics than in healthy people" (the actual phrases used in the article) with "
[definitively] proven wrong" (above). It doesn't say "Pre-Diabetes"
couldn't be a cause of Small Fiber Neuropathy.
Does anyone know if this study has undergone peer review (yet)?
I also don't see it making a huge difference clinically (or I'm missing something, which wouldn't be the first/last time!
) Many of us, whether (pre)diabetic or not, still feel/notice the effect sugar has on our symptoms. Speaking for myself, I'm not going to change anything I'm doing based on this study. The way studies sometimes go, another one may come out next week/month/year contradicting this one.
