Getting Tingling Sensation On Fingers. Symptoms Of Diabetes?

Thanks, for the past 6 hours I have been having a tingling sensation on the fingers of my left hand though there is no numbness and I know that it is one of the possible symptoms for diabetics which is a disease my fathe has. I am just 20 years old. Please I would just like to know if there is any cause for alarm. Thank

Hi,
Welcome to HCM
There is nothing to be alarmed by tingling sensation there are many causes for tingling sensation.
It is good that you are aware of diabetes but just check your FBS and PPBS.
If they are normal you can recheck once a year .
As your father is diabetic you should take care of healthy life style like normal healthy weight,No smoking and alcohol, Regular exercise and taking care of diet.
If it it persistant and recures then check with local doctor to see if there is any cause for it.
Take care
Goo d luck.
