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.

There is an older discussion you may want to read through for Morton's Neuroma - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mortons-neuroma-209f16/. Also, you might find the following information helpful -- Morton's neuroma - Diagnosis and treatment: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mortons-neuroma/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351939

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

Hi John, congratulations on your wonderful weight loss! I still have a ways to go in my mind but, yes, my PCP and a bunch of others are very happy with mine.

Thanks for the links.

Yes, I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. I've used duloxetine/Cymbalta for many years but have started to have some trouble and am going off of it. I also have Restless Leg Syndrome and the duloxetine is interfering with the Pramipexole I'm taking for that. I have now started to taper off of the duloxetine with my psychiatrist's help. I also used a bit of a substance to fill the pain gap of the duloxetine.
