[QUOTE="onnecar, post: 2349259, member: 153437"] It is interesting what you have said. I had the Hba1c done, plus iron levels and several other possible causes were tested too such as viral of infection. So they were pretty thorough. He did say as you have that peripheral neuropathy is not always caused by diabetes. I have also started taking a multi vitamin tablet for over 50s, so will see if that has any impact. I've had low iron stores for as long as I can remember, even though I now eat meat every week, whereas I used to be vegetarian and then became pescatarian. I can't tolerate iron supplements unfortunately, or at least not in the quantity required. I do suffer with a lot of allergy issues too. However that could be due to meds as I'm on quite a cocktail of them for various issues such as blood pressure low thyroid and a lipids issue that cannot be thoroughly corrected with meds. I have not had any recent surgical prodedures. The last op I had was to have a small nodule of bladder cancer removed several years ago and more recently had a bleb put in my right eye to ease pressure as I have glaucoma. I could probably have done without yet another issue, but that's life I guess. I've also been tested for rheumatoid arthritis. I do have some osteo arthritis. Sounds like I could write a book. I think with all the issues it's difficult to pin anything down. I'd just like to get on with my life really. I'm sure a lot of others on this forum think the same. [/QUOTE]
