But doctors pretty much always emphasise that.

six months pass...

there are no diabetes threads it seems so can anyone calm me down about my big numb toe. i can still move it for the most part, i don't notice it most of the time but it's been like this for a couple months. there just isn't much feeling in the middle of it. there's no tingling.

i have nerve-y problems (disc is out of place i think?) that i just started getting PT for but that's all in my neck/upper back. i took a blood test 6-8 mos ago and i was below prediabetes levels so i haven't been too worried, but i eat a lot of starches and plain old sugar tbh so i'm always a little worried, and now i'm a lot worried.

Diabetic neuropathy won't usually affect one toe in isolation, or cause significant loss of sensation without pain or tingling/burning. It can precede the diagnosis of diabetes but that's not typical.

One numb big toe makes me think sciatica (S1 radiculopathy) but that's usually accompanied by the classic pattern of pain shooting down the back of the thigh. Another option would be neuropathy of the digital nerve to that toe, most likely compressive from tight footwear. In the latter case, if you can figure out what caused it and avoid further compression, it should recover within a couple of months.
