Do high lipid and glucose levels cause nerve-related issues?
Hi doctor,
I have developed symptoms of nerve dysfunction (burning, tingling, etc.) but all the nerve related tests were normal. Over the past 9 to 12 months, my diet was poor, I am about 70 pounds overweight, age 40, and have high LDL. My blood glucose last year was 86 mg/dL, then it went up to 97 mg/dL by the fall, and then up to 106 mg/dL this year. I went on a diet and lost 20 lbs so far, but the test this week was at 101 mg/dL after a 12-hour fast. My question is this: Can a blood glucose around 100 to 105 mg/dL and high lipids for numerous months cause any nerve related symptoms?
