since your not diabetic your symptoms are purely of peripheral neuropathy with sharp pins and needle sen alwaybut nosations, which is not due to diabetes but perse due to pheripheral neuropathy itself.
your misconception that pins and needle is always due to diabetes is wrong. most of the time it is due to it but not always.
so donot worry.
chances of you developing diabetes is not related to pins and needle sensation
