A member asked:
Can diabetic peripheral neuropathy present in patients with a controlled (less than 6.5%) hemoglobin a1c level? if so, is the likelihood of occurrence and prognosis different from a patient with an uncontrolled a1c level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peripheral neuropathy can occur in pre-diabetes, mild early diabetes type II, and especially poorly controlled diabetes. Keeping blood glucose under tight control can be very helpful in preventing the worsening of peripheral nerve problems.
