I have a very sharp stabbing pain under my cuticle or nail in my index finger on my left hand. recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. related?

Painful cuticle: You need to be very careful of any cuts or sores because you will have slower wound healing due to your diabetes. The diabetes didn't cause the cuticle pain, you probably pulled on a hangnail or had some other kind of secondary injury to the area.
