Since Sunday I have had loss of sensation in my ring finger and little finger left hand. Half of my palm is affected too. Now everything to me says trapped nerve so I havent had it checked but Google tells me this is also a common thing with diabetes.
I dont want to waste GP time..its not painful just annoying.
So is it a common problem in type 2?
Im T2 since Jan
 
Personally I have experienced numerous similar phenomenon during the course of my recovery. Mostly it probably depends a great deal on how high your blood sugar has been, for how long, and how quickly it has come down. Hopefully just a minor glitch as your body becomes accustomed to a new (and improved) internal environment.

I wouldn’t be overly concerned so long as it clears up in time.
 
Sounds like a cubital tunnel problem (where the nerve to those fingers passes your elbow joint) to me, but in any case, you need to get seen by your GP to be sure.
 
Thank you. Im hoping it will go soon!

Never think you are wasting a GPs time. He is paid handsomely to see and help his patients. That is what he is there for.
