Hello John, I want to thanks for your comments along with others who have commented on my first post the other day. The comments and posts are sobering. For the first time, I am finally dedicated to get my sugar glucose levels down. My levels I believe are similar to yours (John) at one time as my glucose level was at 115. A1C at 6.0 (Prediabetes). But I think I have done harm with these levels. My latest with my Dr. Google PN diagnosis, I notice a slight burning sensation (not pain) in feet at night lying down. I dont notice it when I'm up and about. And periodically I notice sensation (not pain) in my hands. My GP is going to run some imaging on my neck and spine. Looking for pinched nerves? He was also going to prescribe Lexapro for my COVID-19 anxiety. He changed it to Duloxetine because of these symptoms. I think I need to get to a neurologist and get a EMG. I hear "no cure" and I'm borderline terrified with progression of this but I'm hoping I can stop or at least slow it down with eliminating sugars and high carbs and with exercise (I have been way to sedentary). Thanks you all so much for your comments and I welcome any and all strategies with this. Thanks again, John
