Type 2 Pinky finger

[Altaf_7]

I am T2 diabetic since almost a year now ... I have been noticing that my pinky finger of left hand goes numb during night... what can be possible cause

I have this as well, but at my right hand mostly. There could be multiple causes, diabetes is just one of them. I've just read that moving to a low-carbs diet may lead to this as well, for a week or two.

If you stay too much with a computer, or at a desk, and use your hand in a weird way, this may happen as well.

Also, if you are or you've been a heavy drinker (as I was), you may have nerve damage, and this may get slightly better only in time and with exercise.
