Newly diagnosed with Type 2-diabetes, blood glucose under control however, just recently started have symptoms in both legs as if they were asleep. Could it be the medications metformin or losartan?

Guide

Numb or cold feeling in your arms and legs is a side effect of Metformin.
Tingling or burning in the arms and legs may be an early sign of nerve damage. Diabetic neuropathy is damage to nerves in the body that occurs due to high blood sugar levels from diabetes.
Let your physician know about your symptoms.
