Hi.. The numbness in a diabetic occurs due to neuropathy, one of the complications of diabetes.. The development of complications can refer to not properly managed diabetes or very long standing diabetes and probably not the medications used.. Check your blood sugar and preferably also get the glycosylated hemoglobin levels checked...
