| Jen, it sounds like blood circulation problems and could certainly be associated with the diabetes. A facet of neuropathy. Don't panic though, I'm don't think it's necessarily advanced neuropathy. When I was in the first few years of diabetes this was often an issue for me - aches, tingling, numbness. It's not my advice to ignore it at all, you should follow it up with your drs. BUT, in my experience, with sustained good control and health it will go away.
A comment about your blood sugars. If you were diagnosed at 12.2 3 months ago this means you may have had high to very high blood sugars for quite some time, right up to only a couple of months ago. Even though your control has improved so much, nerves damage on the extremities can take, I believe the figure is something like 6 to 12 months to fully regenerate. Meanwhile the tingling is the feeling of them regenerating, re awakening, and it comes on when you get the blood really pumping. Yes very unpleasant, but at least it may have a positive cause!
If you have begun or increased your exercise due to the diagnosis, you might like to ease into it a little slower to avoid the unpleasant sensations more. IF it is a form of temporary neuropathy, it should fade over the next few months.
