Not sure: Dm is associated with peripheral neuropathy - this changes sensation in hands/feet. I have yet to hear of face tingling as an association.

Tingling: It can be nonspecific nerve irritation or diabetic neuropathy. Better to check with your doctor.

Possible neuropathy: Depending on the affected nerves, symptoms of diabetic neuropathy can range from a numbness and tingling sensation, possibly a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. Neuropathy may affect your digestive system, urinary tract, blood vessels and the heart. For some people, the symptoms are mild; for others, it can be painful and disabling.
