unfortunately it all relates to the diabetes. diabetes is a devastating disease that affects all aspects of your body. your blood vessels, kidneys, heart, nerves etc. the fact that you have neuropathy and are on metformin is concerning. perhaps have your pcp reassess your A1c to determine if you may need to be placed on insulin.
