Hi,

Insulin administration doesn't produce numbness in the areas mentioned. There might be another problem which is coinciding with the angiogram. Yet, this numbness is not at all related to the Insulin and the angiogram.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
