Numb feeling in leg: He may be developing a possible blood clot in his leg or parasthesias secondary to his diabetes. See a doctor asap.

Symptom?: Some side effects of diabetes are impaired blood flow to the arms and legs as well as neuropathies (nerve problems). See a physician for the best diagnosis and proper referral, if indicated.
