Hi Vicki @nana1956, welcome to Connect. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy and shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. I've also been in the pre-diabetic category most of my adult life and suspect my neuropathy could have been partly due to the metabolic syndrome which is connected with diabetes. I shared a few references to the metabolic syndrome in another post here if you want to know more about it - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/818645/. Probably the best thing you can do is what you are doing right now - learning more about neuropathy and what others have found helpful.

Here are my two favorite sites for learning more about neuropathy:
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview

What symptoms to you find the hardest to manage?
