Hi mate, my PN was caused through prediabetes, a few docs [gp's] told me I had no signs of diabetes at all, I had a overnight fasting test for diabetes, it come back as normal, a few in office tests with a glucose monitor which all showed normal.
It wasn't until i found a neuro that knew what he was doing and ordered a glucose tolerance test and a bunch of other stuff, results were I was prediabetic, which he said straight away is the cause of my nerve damage which turned out to be spot on. MrsD says you can have an insulin test which will show the same good luck Brian ![]() |

We've put all our meds/supplements (along with pharmacy & PCP info) into a spreadsheet (any type of table will do) and just update it and print off a copy the night before a visit. Then write "see attached" on the form they give you. We have columns for med name, dosage, frequency, and notes (including reason for taking). Saves time and reduces the stress/redundancy... Doc

I've been doing that for the past 10 years, but in about 1/2 the cases they don't want to attach it, they want it written in the proper box (or line, or .....whatever!) on their sheet.
