The Truth About Nerve Pain and Blood Sugar: What Doctors Don't Tell You
Nerve pain and blood sugar are closely linked — but the full story rarely fits into a routine appointment. In this breakdown, Dr. Fitz explains how elevated and fluctuating blood sugar may stress nerves over time, why that connection often gets overlooked until symptoms are already noticeable, and what a rushed visit may not leave room to cover. He walks through why "normal" numbers don't always mean your nerves are in the clear, and what everyday factors may be affecting your blood sugar beyond a single lab result.
