Hello i Keep getting numbness and tingling in my little toe, could this be caused from my diabetes. I'm type 2 been diagnosed since January, I'm currently taking one Metformin of a morning and one of a evening. Does anyone else experience this, kind Regards Nigel.

Peripheral neuropathy is one of the possible consequences of high blood sugar but we are not dr's, if you are concerned about it you should ask your Dr.
Do you know if your levels are high? The best way to avoid any of the possible consequences of T2 is to keep you sugar levels as close to normal as possible

The thing is, once you have a diabetes diagnosis it's very easy to assume that all subsequent health conditions are a diabetic complication, while there are plenty of other causes and conditions that could be in play. And googling doesn't generally help (though I must admit I am guilty of this). It's really best to see a medical professional if you are worried.
