Thanks for the tip re continuous glucose monitor. Actually, I don't have diabetic neuropathy. Don't even have pre-diabetes. My neuropathy seems to be caused by 2 mutant genes that in turn, cause mitochondrial dysfunction. My mitochondria seem to be getting destroyed due to an imbalance in control mechanisms that, when they're working properly, maintain the health and proper number of mitochondria in a cell. Mitochondria, when healthy, are the "power plants" of the cell, converting food to energy currency, ATP.
I appreciate the thought. I believe most neuropathic pain is caused by diabetes.

Hello @margaret10

I am interested in your comments about mitochondria. I had some blood work at the University of Michigan (that was sent to the Mayo Clinic for testing), and the results indicate a strong possibility for my having a mitochondria muscular disorder. I now have an appointment with the genetics department at the University of Michigan to check further.

If you could share a bit about how your mitochondria disorder was determined, I would love to know more. Is it believed to be due to the NETs issue or something else?
