What to expect with PN in hands

Hey Paul, What number does your A1c fall on? So sorry but I'm having a bit of trouble trying to follow what is going on. I've been a diabetic for a very long time. In addition, my Poly Neuropathy has keeps my life right on the edge!
Paul, I only have a single comment. Otherwise I really do not have a magic wand or great perils of medical wisdom that could make life 99.999% better! The comment I'm alluding to is that I was talking to a VA endocrinologist. He told me that "it's not the sugar-even though sugar has cabs' that's he problem, but rather, the fats/lipids"! It makes sense now, many sunsets later!
BTW, I am not promoting the idea that you go out and slam-dunk a feed-bag of sugar! No, What I hope I'm saying is that Sugar is not the main culprit. You probably need to begin exploring those other little sugary demon's...
Hurry up and get to feeling better. The world needs you!
Rick

I am at 5.4 in a 4.5 - 5.7 range on AC1. I am scheduled for an updated lab this week to see where I am today just to be sure. It’s been a guessing game as to why I have PN for 4 months and I thought it was a good idea to look at the whole situation again and sugar levels caught my attention. I don’t eat anything with fat so that isn’t my culprit. Hopefully I’ll learn the cause in a few weeks with neuromuscular specialist but at this point it almost doesn’t matter, lots of nerve loss in feet making walking worse all the time. Now with the hands losing sensation it’s hard to think about much else. Thanks again and I really appreciate your words of support!
