How can a person be diagnosed with Neuropathy if they are not Diabetic

@bajjerfan first off, I think the HgA1C of 2.7 is a typo. I’m very surprised by your numbers. Are the researchers MDs or phDs? Are they sending your numbers to your endocrinologist?
I always considered a HgA1c of over 6.5 to be diabetes. Levels below 5.7% are normal, while 5.7% to 6.4% signals prediabetes. I guess it could be argued that one test is not enough and you only had one value over 6.5. Either way, I’m surprised your endo is not taking it more seriously.
Are you taking any medication? Supplements?

I wish this site could allow more time to edit posts. Yes it's a typo should be 5.7. Anyways the research involves a drug to normalize cortisol levels. The research is conducted by a Mayo MD endocrinologist. Mayo considers a HA1c over 7.0 as being onset diabetes. At 6.8 I made my own dietary adjustments to get it down to 5.7 We have discussed dietary things in the past. If need be she would get me involved in diabetic counseling I'm sure.
I don't take any meds like Metformin to control blood sugar. The last thing I need is another med that's taken by the shovelful. I take vit C flax oil, vit A & D cyanocobalamin, calcium citrate magnesium glycinate and low dose zinc picolinate.
My issue is MACS Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion. Basically excess cortisol production which can lead to diabetes among other things. After an adrenalectomy, it's still too high.
