I have wondered about the diabetes part since it is in my family but again have not had appropriate testing to rule out. I requested A1C but it was wnl too. I think my next step is to make appt with a good Neurologist. And that is hard to find in my opinion. Again I am new to this and just rambling and do appreciate all advice.

6 months isn't a long time for this affliction. it took me a lot longer to start feeling enough pain that I went to the doc's to get it checked out. Get the nerve conduction study. That will answer it one way or another. Steven is right that you're just starting to show symptoms at the end of a long process. Not sure about his obsession with gluten, but I keep an open mind about everything, and try to stay away from it as much as possible too. My reference to 'fun' - I apologize for that. But, from my experience, enjoy what time you can before the pain starts in. Because if you have neuropathy, it'll never go away. Ever.
