Why Are My Fingers Numb?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
4. Diabetes
Diabetics are unable to control the levels of sugar in the blood, other than being careful about what they eat. This can lead to surges in how much sugar is in the blood and this brings various symptoms itself. One of these symptoms is potential damage to nerves, and this can lead to numb fingers.
If you are diabetic and you do have numb fingers then it is a sign that your diabetes is out of control. Damage to nerves is generally permanent so it is something that should be addressed as quickly as possible. Diabetes is sometimes caused by lifestyle choices so it is wise to look after yourself as well as you can.
