Was anyone diagnosed with t2 diabetes, prescribed drugs and shortly
thereafter develop neuropathy? And the doctor told you that diabetics
develop neuropathy?

In my case, the neuropathy brought on the diagnosis.

It's an interesting comment, Julie. There've been some diabetics who have
blamed this or that surgical procedure or condition for "causing" their
diabetes. In actual fact their otherwise undiagnosed diabetes may have been
discovered as a result of their condition. In my case, after surgery for a
broken ankle, a routine bg test (the first I had ever had) discovered an
elevated blood glucose, which ultimately led to my diagnosis. I suppose
drugs can be blamed for causing a diabetic complication which would have
happened anyway. I suppose some actually do cause it.
