I had fracture of tibia and fibula.

I have had previous tests for diabetes and they all come back borderline like A1C 6.2. Could anything besides diabetes cause numbness?
Years ago I broke my arm above the elbow and could not tell where my arm and hand were. That is numbness. I wish I had had surgery as now one arm is a little longer and a bone ball forms that takes years to wear down. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
