Low-carb healthy fat living. Intermittent fasting. What’s your why?

I have neuropathy in the feet for 3+ years. Numbness only. No one can yet figure out the cause.
My sugar is within limits, but on the high side of limits:
A1C range: 5.3 - 5.6 (high normal is 5.7)
Fasting glucose range: 94 - 104 (high normal is 99)
I am 6-1 210, so roughly 30 pounds overweight
I am told by some that sugar is not the issue. But one neurologist said that even slightly elevated sugar can cause neuropathy.
I do think I notice that my feet are worse when I over eat.
I am going to try keto + fasting to see what happens. Will report back.
According to this guy, it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcQxbN3XIMk

@rickhood, thanks for sharing the helpful video. I had not heard of treatment induced neuropathy (TIND). I've always been pre-diabetic and diabetes runs in my family. I typically do the one meal a day with my intermittent fasting and try to eat less than 50 carbs. It's only been the past few years that I've focused on losing weight and keeping it off. My A1C last December was 5.8 and fasting glucose was 100. I have been working to get the numbers lower but have not been able to cut out all carbs. I did try it after reading how Dr. Terry Wahls was able to treat her MS symptoms through diet and nutrition - https://terrywahls.com/about/about-terry-wahls/.
Looking forward to your update on the keto diet!
