diabetes2 and blood circulation

I'm a 35yr female and I have type 2 diabetes..My sugar level is pretty much under control but for the past 6 months or so when sleeping my fingers/hands fall asleep also. It feels like pins and needles and I must wake up and shake them out just for them to feel normal again. I am constantly cold! 19 degrees cel. is not warm enough for me and I am constantly sleeping in fleeces and other warm clothing. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and whats your take on it? I'm thinking of making a doc's appointment...I already know what he is going to say...Excercise.

Hiya
Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions I take two 500mg metformine a day. My glucose level is anywhere between 5-7( finger *****) normally. I've been diabetic for about 5yrs now. We ALL procrastinate to an extent about making doctor's appointments that"s just never a fun thing. surrounding work and school i simply have not gotten around  to it, so that's my excuse! Of course I possibly could have other underlying issues surrounding the experienced numbness I never ruled that out that's why I brought my question here to see if someone else could of had a similiar problem. I've had blood work done recently there were no vitamin dificiencies. Salt ( I don' really use that much it could be just a small sprinkle)could be possibly the culprit to my problem I do notice when I have it I'm awake more often

".My sugar level is pretty much under control "
What is your fasting glucose level(s)?
How about HgbA1c percentage?

"I'm thinking of making a doc's appointment.."
Why wait when you have health issues?

"..I already know what he is going to say...Excercise."
Yes, but you may have other underlying issues regarding circulatory or vitamin deficiencies that need to be ruled out or addressed.
