Hi,
High blood sugar in diabetes causes degeneration of peripheral nerves. This gives tingling, numbness or burning in hands and feet. You should try to maintain your blood sugar in normal level and also HbA1c level. Tab. vitamin B12 can help to some extent. Consult a diabetologist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
