This is "probably" early signs of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy whose early symptoms are pins/needles or numbness

Your Diabetes Meds are "trying" to prevent this from getting worse

If this continues you either need more meds or more stringent intervention by yourself to make the lifestyle changes necessary to manage diabetes

Untreated or unmanaged the pins and needles will turn into a burning sensation, then pain and then really nasty things you don't want to experience

If the sensation persists, talk to your Doctor
