Hi Marti, dont think any of us on here are medically qualified to really answer that, but under any circumstances I would visit your Doctor and raise your concerns. If you need any treatment atleast they can get straight on to it

I agree, the best thing you can do is voice your concerns with your Dr.

Hi Marti,
Try keeping your feet [toots] warm using soft warm thermal socks and try wrapping a blanket around your legs too.
Dont try using a warm/hot water foot soak to warm them up. [I did this once and almost burnt them ] As a diabetic you cant always feel temperatures safetly and accurately ...
Have you had any podiatry foot care appointments since being diagnosed?
In these colder months and weather it can and does affect the extremeties more [our fingers,hands and toes,feet]
You really do need to pop along to your GP and discuss the problems with him/her.
Hope this helps a bit ?
Anna.x
