Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy

I have non diabetic PN but hopefully closer to diagnosis. My glucose and AC1/levels are just below pre diabetes levels so I have a suspicion they might be the culprits. I am going to eliminate as much sugar as possible to see if it makes a difference. I learned about my PN in May and hope to have a diagnosis in September. The loss of freedom to walk and do things like I used to still has me freaked out. How are you doing with it?

From what little I've heard, there are three known causes of neuropathy -- chemo stands out as the vicious one. Alcohol has to be consumed at abusive levels for extended periods, and pre- or even early diabetes is a long way from inducing nerve damage. If you already have neuropathy, it hardly seems reasonable to blame diabetes you don't even have yet. I believe you could benefit from another opinion regarding the causality. For myself, I am hoping against hope that my future includes knee surgery and a life afterward with joy in it.
