I am not a medical professional. But, I have heard of poor circulation causing the sensations that you describe as a result of diabetes. It can t hurt to have a neurological exam. If this problem has been constant for one month then it is time to seek out a professional opinion. A basic neurological exam only takes about 5 minutes. They will test your reflexes and sensitivity as related to each point on the spinal cord. Only if they find a problem will you be advised to have an MRI done on the region that might have some nerve damage. If this is the case, time really is important. Every day that nerve tissue is deprived of oxygen, your chances of permanent damage increase. Also, try to be patient because these tests and differing opinions might take some time to get going. At the same time, if there is nerve damage you want to get treatment. If something else is causing the problem then it is probably best to get a diagnosis as soon as you can. Nerve damage will not magically fix itself. The symptoms can come and go as the brain maps out alternate routes leading the person to think the problem is gone. But, in reality the problem would be getting worse and the symptoms will be more severe during each flare-up.
Prolly wanna get that checked out some diabetics have pain in there limbs and then have them amputated because they waited to long.
