Good morning, @asergio714
Thank you for yesterday's message. From what you say, it sounds like you and I have almost identical problems. My neuropathy chiefly affects my feet, giving me balance problems. I too have scoliosis, along with some degenerative cervical and thoracic discs. Years ago I was told that I was pre-diabetic but not to worry. Lab tests since show me still pre-diabetic. Is that involved in my neuropathy? I wonder.

I doubt it. I have adrenal insufficiency and have to take hydrocortisone twice a day which increases blood sugar

Hi, after many years of slightly high blood sugar I am suddenly pre diabetic. My a1c was normal but my glucose high for many years. I was told my neuropathy could only be caused by full blown diabetes. I went to a new neurologist this week who told me that neuropathy starts before you actually get diabetes. That makes a lot more sense to me as it seemed a big mystery to my doctors as to why I have neuropathy with a normal a1c.
