Toes and fingers go numb

When the pool temp goes below 80 (I know, I used to complain when it went above 80!), I've noticed two fingers and now this week, 3 toes tingle and/or get numb. I know this can be a warning sign for diabetes, which would be ironic, since I can't eat any kind of processed sweets -- my once a day treat is a few bites of a protein bar. Has this ever happened to anyone? Should I be alarmed? Two toes still feel slightly numb hours after swimming.

    Thanks, Elaine. I sort of self-diagnosed myself with Raynaud's due to stiffening and inability to move hands and fingers in cold weather. Have to put vaseline on my hands and wear thick gloves. I went on Mayo before posting - my online "doctor." :applaud: I will call the family doc tomorrow and check on what they tested me for when I had blood work done recently.
