Brief Answer:
Most probably peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back and thanks for clarifications.
In your case then, most probably tingling in hands is caused by peripheral neuropathy related to diabetes.
The second most possible cause is anxiety.
I suggest you to discuss with your primary care Doctor about having done a nerve conduction study ( EMG), in order to have a correct diagnosis.
