Hi bubbles1.

There are a myriad of things this could be down to. Only a few are Diabetes related. Here are a couple of links to give you some idea of the conditions it could be down to. You will not have them all !!

You first of all need to get yourself of to your GP and present ALL your symptoms to him?her.
We are not allowed to diagnose on here. See your GP.

I had the same problem and suffered it for 3 months until I raised it at a review. Probably not diabetes related was the opinion I was given. Four sessions with the Physio on my spine at the base of my neck did the job and I now have hands that are not numb for the first time since October last year.
 
thanku, obviously I know no-one can give me medical advice just wanted to see if I was on the right track before booking into see my GP thank you all 8)
