Welcome @ellbee, I've carried that pre-diabetic tag with me for 20+ years also and have recently thought it may have something to do with my idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. So, I'm working on getting out of the pre-diabetes diagnosis after doing a little reading on the metabolic syndrome which fits most people in the pre-diabetes category.

Do you have pain with your neuropathy symptoms?

Yes I do have pain that goes and comes with my neuropathy. I have tried to understand what actions cause the difference but I'm still not sure. Leaving off sugar may make some difference but I' not sure. Sometimes the pain is so bad that I cannot sleep and other times the pain doesn't bother me at all, however, I do experience some numbness all the time.
No pain, but never diagnosed as it is too expensive. Feet feel like something is over them, a bit
like numbness? Does this fit neuropathy? I just finished my annual physical and blood work is
great. No revelations any where; however, we did not discuss neuropathy. I am not a pre-diabetic or anything and am a 79 yr. old female.

The NIH article is very informative. Will this change your treatment routine, if so how?
