There is so much they don’t know....

You don't really expect us to believe this was an actual conversation, do you? With a medical doctor?, not some wannabe quack who uses the title "Dr.", such as a chiropractor or a podiatrist?

A MD probably wouldn't use the term "severe neuropathy", and would call it a COMPLICATION of diabetes, not a symptom. He would not state he had no idea what was causing it, when there are at least a dozen causes I can think of off the top of my head and most of them can be easily tested for.

Sorry, but this mythologic conversation doesn't pass the smell test.
