Hi,
Your blood glucose levels seems to be well controlled, but because your toe and feet problems resemble microvascular injuries, its better get HbA1c report, and go for strict glycaemic controll. I would advice you consult a endocrinologist or physician with endocrine experitise.
Feel free to contact, if you have further querries.
