Or circulation. If you smoke, I'd be looking at circulation.
Diabetic PN does start in the feet. But other causes/triggers do not localize just there.
My PN was thyroid induced early... and it was not only in the feet.

I don't smoke, but I am overweight and have been for years. Although the basic glucose tests came back normal, after reading things on this board and elsewhere, I intend to ask for tests for impaired glucose tolerance -- i.e. "pre-diabetes". There are some reports on the internet that as many as 40% of those people originally labeled "idiopathic" turned out to have IGT.
We'll see...
