The most valuable line is the question. "Progressive distal sensory loss over eight months, diabetic, B12 normal, gabapentin ineffective at maximum tolerated dose, is this diabetic polyneuropathy or something else?" gives a neurologist somewhere to start. "Neuro eval" does not. Include what you have already excluded, because repeating your work wastes an appointment that the patient waited for.
Current medication list with doses, recent relevant laboratory results, any imaging reports (the report matters more than the images for triage), prior neurology notes, and any previous electrodiagnostic or EEG studies.
