numbness in hands

[marie1979]

hi i recently started getting pins and needles in my hands and numbness and aching all in my hands i have been told to get checked out for diabetes has anyone else had this if so what was it? thankyou for any replys

Could be carpal tunnel syndrome- when do you get the symptoms?

Does it affect any of your fingers more than the others? CT affects thumb, second, third and half of ring finger

It would be a rather advanced symptom of diabetes to be your first presentation

i've been getting the same thing.my numbness is generally in my little finger and the one next to it...sometimes in the middle one.however,i have also had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome during pregnancies and they were the same fingers then too.

ive been checked for diabetes bou two years ago cause i was always thirsty anweeing alot i get it all in my hands and fingers left one more than right

my nan had diabetes and my dad gets checked for it to but hasnt got it

Put both your hands together with the fingers flat as though you were praying. Bens your arms so they are at right angles to your hands. (Am I making sense?) Stay like this for minute or two. Do you get the tingling? If yes, this suggests carpal tunnel

no dont get tingling?? it just hurt my arms lol
