Thanks Melody. You know the A1C business, began when some European reports said that A1C over 5 was implicated in increased mortality. The Accord study showed that while A1C is a good indicator of blood sugar control, mortality is not necessary linked to its values. The ACCORD study was a surprise to many.
For those interested in more details of genetic contribution to
diabetic complications, here is a long article:

Since the study linked to here, did not detail how the people were chosen for the study, it could well be that the gene pool for them would show low incidence of neuropathy as well.
Having diabetes is not a 100% given to get neuropathy, it is only a risk factor.
