The preponderance of idiopathic peripheral neuropathy cases can be related to glycemic issues. You need to have a two hour glucose tolerance test and not rely on random fasting serum glucose tests or the frequently flawed HbA1c.

@proteusx I do have chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy and am prediabetic with an HgbA1C of 5.7%. Wondering how the two hour glucose test would help. If glycemic issues were the cause of my PN would there be options other than Gabapentin?
