It is possible. But also possible that you are low in B12 and/or Vit D. Low D can reduce calcium absorption from food, and when that happens there can be paresthesias in the face and around the mouth.

Your B12 should test at 400 or above (US units), and your D should be around 50

Doctors do the testing, but often do not interpret the results properly, or treat effectively. So get the tests, and post here, and I'll look at them.

There are specific supplements that help diabetic neuropathies, but do these two first as they are the most common and often fix things easily and inexpensively.
