Neuropathy and blood sugar readings

[tyroneshoes]

Does anyone know if the neuropathy pain will get worse during spikes in blood sugar readings then slightly improve when blood sugar is back in range?  I am trying to figure out if that is causing my pain to worsen at times. I have taken my readings and I am thinking that may be the case but wondering if others can confirm it. Thanks.

Thank you both very much.  I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Elevated blood sugar effects osmolality. This can cause migration of fluid into spaces causing pressure on the nerves. Think of a balloon filled with fluid pressing against a nerve passing through a small space. Passage of fluid into the surface of the balloon is mediated by osmolality.   Interestingly, Metformin can relieve pain from pinched nerves in certain instances in non-diabetics by reducing fluid in spaces pressing against the nerves.

Yes

I am guessing at the reason but I know high BG increases nerve pain.
High BG makes the blood thicker thick blood does not flow as well so nerves get starved for O2.....  I guess
