Default Idiopathic neuropathy

Hi i have been dealing with neuropathy for six years it is destroying my life and gets worse day by day when I first had neuropathy I was nineteen to the the point i could not wlk. I thought it was a result of zoloft so when I got off it it went away. Four years later I get neuropathy relly bad only this time it's affecting how I use the bathroom. At first docs outside of my family doctor thought it was diabetes but my family doctor said my sugar wasn't high enough to get this reaction. So now no one can find whats going on and I feel I should give up since Im not getting any answers. Has anyone with dibetes had neuropathy nd it went away almost completely and come back worse than ever? And should I keep looking for a solution to my problem?

Hi hcolemanjr

Welcome to NeuroTalk .

The elevated glucose levels associated with poorly-managed Type 2 diabetes can lead to peripheral neuropathy.

I think that it would be worth arranging for three kinds of clinical tests to be done; a fasting glucose blood test, a oral glucose tolerance test and a glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) test.

The results of these should be helpful.

Best wishes.

You might want to read this article on glucose spiking. My a1c is 5.1, and my glucose can spike to the 300 range after high carb consumption. The only way I know this is happening is because I bought an inexpensive glucose monitor at the drug store and began checking my blood sugar after developing idiopathic neuropathy. No doctor will say it's responsible for my problems, but those spikes certainly aren't helping my nerves.

I'm on a low carb diet as a result.

Janieg,

How long have you been on a low carb diet and it reducing your neuropathy symptoms?

Thanks

I've been eating low carb since about 2015 when I realized I experienced bad glucose spikes. I cannot say that it helped my neuropathy symptoms, but given that high glucose is a definite insult to nerves, I have to believe it's helped it from getting even worse than it is.
