Hi Doc,
Maybe small fiber damage
does occur immediately in response to high glucose levels, as opposed to long neural fibers.
Yeah, artificial sweeteners are not an option for me either, I want stuff to taste *good*...
I can still have dark, unsweetened chocolate, though. And, well, fruit is such a treat now, I guess one's sense of taste can get numbed by too much sweetness over the years and now, whoa, all the richness again
I have now several papers on the short term effect of sorbitol and fructose on nerves, I'll be studying them and post any findings, for us who-knows-if-actually-prediabetics-but-still-sufferers-from-PN-that-gets-worse-by-sugar.

It just seems so weird that I'm not a diabetic, but eat/live pretty much like one...  (Curse you, Emperors of Chocolate!  )
