From what I understand there are two types, inherited and acquired. Diabetics that suffer PN would (mostly) fall under the acquired category and therefore it would have been more avoidable than someone that inhertied it from grandma or a genetic oddity (diabetes can be this too). PN in diabetics is a consequence of poor health and poor diabetes management and not an inevitability. So, for the most part, things like the insulin pump, balanced smart meals, regular exercise will all prevent PN.
I have no problems with my circulation; I play soccer and cycle. I have no pain other than what is considered normal work out related mussle tear and fatigue...
