Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (910)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed as prediabetic several years ago. I lost 100 pounds (that's a whole other story) and am now non-diabetic but several of my doctors treat me as if I were actually diabetic. And one of them, a neurologist, diagnosed me with diabetic neuromas. My neuropathy was actually caused by Morton's neuromas in both feet, as well as the experimental procedure to relieve the neuroma areas of pressure, and surgeries to remove the neuromas. So, in my mind, I do not have diabetic neuropathy.

Hello @annievee, Welcome to Connect. That is great that you have been able to lose that much weight. I've always been told I was prediabetic also and my weight was as high as 330 lbs and out of control for a long time. I was able to get down to 250 to 260 but stayed there until a little over a year ago when I started intermittent fasting which helped me get to my present weight of 215. I'm sure your primary care doctor is pleased that you have lost a lot of weight. Diabetes does run in my family but I was always irked about the prediabetes label myself.

Have you been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy or on any type of treatments for neuropathy?
