Did your doctor actually test for A1c? Did he do other blood labs to rule out autoimmune diseases or other potential causes? EMG and Nerve Conduction tests? If not, I’d definitely consult with another neurologist or insist that these be done. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some good information you might find helpful. There are a lot of resources on diet and exercises that can be helpful until you can get a more solid diagnosis as to cause. I’m new to neuropathy and just found it helpful to learn about the different types, causes, treatments, etc. And, also, definitely review the posts of the Connects group to gain from their knowledge and experience and to just know you’re not alone. Knowledge can be overwhelming, but it’s also powerful and will help inform your discussions with your medical providers.
Hello @snoopydogks and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Can I start by asking you how long ago you were diagnosed and what medication you've all tried so far so that other members may come in and provide support?
