your friend needs adjustement of his daily dose of insulin as the current dose he is taking is not enough to keep his blood suger level within normal values.. the tingling is due to neuropathy caused by high blood sugar level..the black spots he needs to show them to his doctor as soon as possible as it might be due impaired blood supply to his hands and feet
