Question cold feet-nerve damage?

I was diagnosed with T2 beginning of September. Unfortunately, it took me getting sick enough to go into the hospital as an emergency to find out I have diabetes. it's T2 but my bg was so high 36.6 ( 660 in American measurements) that I had to be put on insulin right away. I'm on Lantus at night and Byetta 2x before meals. My eyesight was the worst symptom at first, it deteriorated really badly. Now I've changed my diet and on meds my vision has improved in the 2 months. But I've noticed, now it's getting cold that one of my toes hurts if my feet aren't kept warm. It's painful and then it's numb. i'm scared it could be peripheral neuropathy. The only thing I can think of to do is to keep my feet warm, which is easy when i'm at home. But what if i go out? i went out and my feet got cold and the toe was really painful. I can't pile on layers of socks because none of my shoes will fit. Anyone else experience this? What do I do?? Help!
