Your uncontrolled diabetes may have lead to peripheral neuropathy which is why the symptoms of burning, pins and needles in your foot. Visit a physician/diabetologist to have your diabetes effectively controlled. If the same doesnt help, you may secondarily need to see an orthopedic surgeon to rule out spinal cause for the above symptoms or any mechanical issues in the foot which moght need surgical treatment
