Hi David @proteusx, Looking forward to any connections you find in your searching. For a majority of my adult life I was in the pre-diabetic category but never made any connections until I ran into a condition I hadn't heard before - metabolic syndrome, a group of conditions that together raise your risk of coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other serious health conditions. Which got me looking into possible connections with neuropathy. Here's a few I found:
-- The Metabolic Syndrome and Neuropathy: Therapeutic Challenges and Opportunities: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3881591/
-- Metabolic syndrome as a risk factor for neurological disorders
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21997383/

Hi John, good for you for taking that initiative. Yes, I am very aware of metabolic syndrome and its implication in a whole galaxy of ills. (I was a medical writer much of my career; am 80 now but still actively following all the latest research related to a great many diseases.) There are conditions that the metabolic syndrome misses in some vital particulars, and those are my focus of interest right now. I'm eager to share what I'm finding but I want more validation of these findings before I do so. David
