Not necessarily but you should go to your doctor to be seen. Your symptoms sound like diabetic neuropathy which is typically seen in chronic/poorly controlled diabetics. There are meds such as gabapentin/neurontin that have been helpful for some people. If you are having any muscle weakness on one side of your body, confusion, memory problems, one-sided headache, trouble walking, visual disturbances, partial or complete blindness in one eye/part of one eye, trouble using both hands/legs, facial drooping on one side, and/or difficulty swallowing or speaking your symptoms would point more to a stroke. Either way your doctor needs to evaluate you.

if your hand and leg is clammed up and you feel you are losing grip with it then i suggest you go to the hospital STRAIGHT AWAY
my gran had one at the end of last year and since then she has begun to lose her memory and gone down a very slippery slope
i hope you do not have a stroke but please for your own good
