I am not sure how the SFN and food link manifests for each person. I've had PN for 30+ yrs.... and it was only recently that the burning got out of control for me. I've had insulin resistance for many years, and control it with the Zone Diet. Most of my PN prior was PAIN, and not burning. So with time this other issue appeared, and the trigger for me was the potatoes. (I found this by following suggestions in Dr. Jensen-Kittley's book:
http://obesitysanswer.com/ Her suggestions to eliminate certain foods, and also use Inositol were very helpful for me specifically. It has been a long road and much effort for my solutions. I use this as an example so you don't expect a quick one, necessarily.

The A1C does go up with age. Yours seems quite good. Mine is 6.2, and has stayed there for a while.
The biggest problem is large portions per meal. This will spike sugar...called the postprandial spike, and the newer goals for Type II are to keep this down. One way is measuring everything, but another is to eat 5 small meals, spread out during the day, instead of 3 big ones. This is a good calculator: https://www.accu-chek.com/us/glucose...lculator.html# This one shows a table form: http://www.rajeun.net/HbA1c_glucose.html

Hi All, It has been a while since I last posted. I have had a whirlwind month since then. I had my small fiber confirmed by Cleveland Clinic(mild to moderate)- a 1 week bout and hospital stay w/ pancreatitis- switched from neurontin to cymbalta to now nothing except supplements. Also had bad experience w/ capsaicin-WOW was that hot! I am now however doing much better and have learned to control blood sugar. Cymbalta made me sick and not able to urinate- did help some w/ pain. Right or wrong I at least have myself convinced that pain has decreased-don't know if this is due to supp's- sugar under control or my imagination. I am excercising regularly. I wanted to express my appreciation to all who replied when I was way down around Christmas- you will never know how much your support and information helped! I still feel I got a raw deal w/ A1C of 5.7 180lbs and never any Diabetes suggestion and feeling fine and wham SFN out of blue- but I have gotten to the resolved to beat it stage! Thanks again!
