Brief Answer:
It may be just physiological.MRI L-S Spine may be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
Although sitting for prolonged periods, may cause tingling in the buttock area, burning sensation may be slightly unusual.If the problem is severe and troublesome,I suggest you to get a MRI of L-S spine to look for a possible disc related issue, which might be causing nerve radicle compression.
Diabetics are usually prone to such nerve related symptoms and neuropathy.
Hope that helps.If you have further questions, I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
