The tingling feeling could be a neuropathy. Diabetics are prone to numbness in the extremities. A main factor of diabetics having trouble with their feet in addition to high blood sugars that suppress the immune system from healing well, is the fact that sugar drops in the body. Circulatory trouble ensues and extra caution should be taken with your fingers and toes.

Gangrene is hard to miss. The smell alone will send you to the ER.

I suggest meeting with your endocrinologist and get a good neurologist to see how far along your neuropathies, if any, have progressed. Also, any opthamologist could look into the back of your eyes to rule out retinopathy. Stay on top of your condtion!!!
