Concerns to discuss.
- Persistent numbness or pins and needles in hands or feet

What assessment may involve.
A clinician may examine sensation, strength and reflexes. Blood tests or nerve studies may be considered depending on the findings; not everyone needs the same tests.
Questions about care and next steps.
Discuss existing diabetes, injuries and medicines. Management depends on the underlying cause. Ask whether further investigation or referral is appropriate and where any recommended testing would take place.
Prepare for your appointment.
- Note the affected area, start date and any changes.
- Bring relevant reports and a list of medicines.
