Actually, if you are experiencing numbness, this is something I would associate more with anaemia than anything else. This is when the iron in your bloody gets low because you aren't absorbing it sufficiently from food. I have suffered from this badly myself in the past and suffered with the numbness when I was walking or when I stood up. My legs would give way under me when I was walking along for quite some time before i was diagnosed.
Although this is one possibility, there are a number of other possible reasons for what you are experiencing so you should speak to your Doctor. However, to set your mind at rest, it's not something most commonly associates with Diabetes, of which the main symptoms are extreme thirst and frequent trips to the loo. It's also not a common symptom of high blood pressure.

my friend is a diabetic and he said signs of diabetes is a hugee rush of hunger and thirst. he described to me he would eat tonsss of stuff at night time. going to the bathroom a lot and drinking a lot is another sign. im not an expert but this is the knowledge i can give to you. i saw the others didnt mention it so i thought they would. the others are absolutely right. we arent doctors here on advicenators..so def talk to your doctor about this. he can test to see if you have diabetes,high blood pressure, or poor circulation.
let me know how it goes!

Numbness and tingling in your extremities is a complication of diabetes, but more than likely you would have other symptoms prior to this. Other common causes that are obviously treatable are a vitamin b-12 deficiency, or a low thyroid level. Since what you are telling us is a symptom of another problem, the only good advice is to see a Dr right away.

It sounds like to me that you have poor cirulation.
I would get a doctor to check it out and be sure, so if it is anything serious you can get medicine
Good luck
