Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems like you have numbness and painful tingling sensation in your hands and feet. Neuropathy symptoms like such are very common among uncontrolled diabetics. I would recommend you see your primary doctor for a complete blood panel. Another disease commonly associated with neuropathy like symptoms such as numbness and tingling are some STD's and exposure to chemotherapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Samuel Parmar
