@bajjerfan I've always thought that my pre-diabetic condition was related to my neuropathy also and none of my doctors over the years even mentioned the possibility of neuropathy. It wasn't until I learned about the metabolic syndrome which pretty includes all of us categorized as having pre-diabetes. Here are a couple of research papers with more information. I wished my doctors would have mentioned it when they first started warning me about diabetes. I just didn't want to believe pre-diabetic was a warning sign.

@johnbishop Really interesting links and make a lot of sense in terms of searching for that illusive cause. A good reminder to me to watch my diet and exercise which help with all the things they mentioned as contributors. Thank you!
