There is a very simple test for autonomic neuropathy. I was diagnosed a year and a half ago. My heartbeat is always rapid. I've had an echo as a follow up but it showed no problems whatsoever. I've spoken to my endo and a neurologist about the effects of having this rapid heartbeat and they both said that basically it just freaks out Drs!! For me it was a wake-up call to get my diabetes under control to prevent further damage to my autonomic nervous system.
