The only way to find out is to visit your GP, we can not diagnose on the forum :)
 
Could be anything. Ask the GP for a referal to the podietary service. They check a few things including the blood flow and sensitivity. In my case, the tingling is a known side effect of a drug I take. I also have to be careful with the shoes I wear thesedays.

Get something sharpish and poke the tingly area with it. If you can't feel it then see your GP because you are losing sensation. Pins and needles could be the indication of nerve damage. I am not saying that telling your GP can cure it but you should notify him/her.

Hi. I was recently diagnosed with T2 and my left foot (between my 2nd and 3rd toe) began to tingle and now I have lost the feeling in between my toes. Apparently this is a Morton's Nueroma (not serious). I recently had a steroid injection and, although it has helped a bit, the tingling and loss of feeling is still there. Hope this helps.
Cheers J

Did you have an MRI to diagnose that? My Podiatrist had a dickie fit when I told her I'd had a MN diagnosed and offered a steroid injection without it.
