My fasting blood sugar is consistently in th 90’s, occasionally in 100’s and very rarely below 90. A1C is normal (high end). But all of this seems concerning as my mother passed away at 58 from diabetes complications as well as other family had type 2 diabetes.

I work out 5 days a week, eat very well with very occasional processed carbs or sugar. Not sure what else I could do to lower these numbers.

I never knew this was possible nor did my previous doctors evidently. So be aware.”

You still can’t prove that your neuropathy is being caused by blood sugar. At the numbers you posted, it likely isn’t. I have idiopathic neuropathy with lower BG than you, and also have a range of auto-immune conditions, which have been concluded as the likely cause. I have celiac disease too. Neuropathy is often caused by Vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency as well.

Stop scaring people. Irresponsible.”

This is true. It’s a pretty meaningless term for a lot of people. I tested my BG for one day, these were the results:
fasting: 103
1hr PP: 97
2hr PP: 90
random: 94
before meal: 90
1hr PP: 88
2hr PP: 90

Average: 93
So “prediabetic” fasting number with every other number lower. Total calorie in take for the day – 4,100.

Glucose always in normal range on labs. In 2014 normal A1C changed from under 6 to under 5.6. So I was told I’m prediabetic. I have idopatic Gastroparesis and idiopathic neuropathy. Just recently I was told that even though I technically don’t have diabetes I have damage from years of being prediabetic. I never knew this was possible nor did my previous doctors evidently. So be aware.
