Toes: Not likely to be diabetes but you need to see your doctor to begin to understand why your feet feel as they do. If that does not find an answer a consult with a Neurologist would be in order.

It is not: Diabetes is diagnosed by measuring your glucose levels in your blood. Given your body habits, you may be at risk. Increasing your physical activity is a simple first step in lowering your diabetes risk. The tension you describe on the top of your foot while flexing and extending your toe not consistent with diabetes.
