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
