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.

@bajjerfan if you’ve had an adrenalectomy, I think you’re doing great and obviously know how to take care of yourself. Keep up the good work!

I was told by a neurologist that the nerve damage in my lower legs came about from being pre-diabetic. The numbness and tingling is indicative of peripheral neuropathy. I get relief from PreGabalin. Currently I am undergoing endovenous chemical ablation to deal with my CVI in the lower legs. We'll see what changes when that is completed.
