This is so true. I had PN for about 3 decades BEFORE I became a type 2 diabetic.

Since being labeled a diabetic, everyone considers my PN as being "diabetic neuropathy". I just want to slap them. Then I have to provide my 30 year history of PN and my perfectly normal blood sugar levels for 30 years before they will believe that ALL neuropathy in a diabetic is not necessarily related to diabetes. It is an ongoing battle with doctors that do not have my history in their face.

PS Diabetes has not helped the matter but was and is not the cause of all my PN symptoms.
