Only way to tell if its ok for you, is to measure blood glucose via fingerprick pre meal, alongside later on ~2 hours later and see if...

    Type 1 neuropathy

    careful thats above the max dosage allowed. 600 is the max per day. the above quote is from this page: https://bnf.nice.org.uk/drugs/pregabalin/ that is why the dr can't prescribe more than 600mg per day. the 600mg can be splitt in various ways which you'll need to discuss with medical staff.

    Type 1 neuropathy

    i'd be inclined to try for a referal for pain management clinic, which specielizes in pain relief, they can likely better than a regular gp type doctor possibly be able to prescribe something which could help with it. I take several pain meds for back pain... not neuropathy, cocktail pregabalin...

    Hypoglycaemia and hair loss?

    something to consider. cgm libre (2plus) for me usually reads a little lower than actual fingerprick. It is likely worth while to check against fingerprick. I've also noticed with libre when in bed reads usually another little bit lower, something perhaps like 'compression low' so i wouldnt be...
