Brief Answer:
Fasting Blood sugar/HbA1c/Nerve conduction study

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

Pins and needles in extremities can be early manifestations of neuropathy. Neuropathy is common in Diabetics.So,Nerve conduction studies may help to rule out neuropathy.Its better if you get your fasting blood sugar and HbA1c get checked again.

Falling of eyebrows can be a manifestation of anxiety.

Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Regards
