Who else has Autonomic Neuropathy?

Welcome @jart. Type 2 diabetes is the most common cause of autonomic neuropathy. When poorly controlled, the diabetes increases the risk of autonomic neuropathy and other nerve damage.
Jart, you'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about AN.

I did this so you can connect with other members like @runnergirl @juanito @sunnyflower and many others.
Typically people with AN are in the care of neurology. See more here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/autonomic-neuropathy/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20369836
Is your loved one able to control his diabetes? Is he currently in the care of a neurologist?

Just an FYI, I do not have diabetes, nor am I borderline. I'm happy to answer any questions.

Neurologist made the diagnosis. No, his BS is not well-controlled and until he becomes convinced he MUST do that, I guess there’s nothing much more that can be done. (He’s on max meds from Endocrinologist.). BUT, he’s got something else too so next is a hematologist. In testing they found protein issues in his blood. Something called MGUS as well as Kappa Lambda Free Chain irregularities. Not a good sign, I know. I imagine a bone marrow test is next. I “think” what they may be looking for is a possible MM diagnosis.
