Okay, let's see...: You DON'T have diabetes but you have tingling in your hands & feet for the 2nd time ever, for how long? An hour? A day? A year? & from there you jump straight to death from diabetic coma. Is that right? It never hurts to check a fasting blood sugar. If it's normal, I think you're safe for now from death by diabetic coma & can go digging for something else to worry about.

Time for a consult: Diabetics don't get the pins and needles neuropathy until years into their disease. People who hyperventilate due to anxiety can get the feeling anytime. It is time you met with your doc to discuss your concerns and have some basic lab work done.Once your health is confirmed, you can address why you are preoccupied with death.

Frequently getting pins and needles sensation in right hand. Compressed nerve or diabetes sign?
I have been having extremely itchy skin. Starts on hands and feet. Sometimes on the rest of my body. There are no marks to show any signs of rash. That is until I claw myself to death. Wondered if it may be a sign of diabetes. Never had this before. Lotion does not help. I have not changed any kind of soap or shampoo or detergent. I can take a Benadryl and it will stop. Itching?
