Hello John @testudo, I would like to add my welcome along with @sunnyflower and other members. I've always carried that prediabetes label around myself although I'm not really sure it's a legitimate diagnosis. What I've done in the past 3 to 4 years to improve my numbers is focus on reducing sugar (it's a big culprit and no no for neuropathy) and eating healhier. Here's some information from a Mayo Clinic page that describes the problem much better than I can -- "Diabetic neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur if you have diabetes. High blood sugar (glucose) can injure nerves throughout your body. Diabetic neuropathy most often damages nerves in your legs and feet.Mar 3, 2020" -- Diabetic neuropathy - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetic-neuropathy/symptoms-causes/syc-20371580

The fact that you found Mayo Clinic Connect means that you are trying to learn as much as you can and is a great start to becoming a strong advocate for your health. The best suggestion I have is to keep asking questions and learn as much as you can about your condition. The more you know, the better you can communicate with your doctor and health care team.

Do you ever have the burning during the daytime?
