I am a diabetic, why do my lips feel numb?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
High sugar: Make sure your sugar is under control. Many diabetic people may have "numbness" in several body areas if their sugar is very high.

Poor control?: Are you a poorly controlled diabetic? If so you can have diabetic neuropathy. See your doctors.
