What to expect with PN in hands

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!

Hi again Paul,
I apologize for not quite understanding the gist of your post! Apparently, it's not a sugar issue at all! Please don't give up the sugar because you are right where you belong-maybe even low @ 4.5- 5.1-5.9 is an excellent marker for A1c! I think I would offer-up my non-dominant arm for the kind of numbers that you have! I'm homesteading around 6.8 - 7.5!
As I mentioned earlier, my thinking was along the lines of 'you were going to abandon sugar, not that there were primary and secondary issues...
Keep me posted as to the diagnosis. Hold your head up high!
