Bhank,
I am an accountant, so don't take anything I say as medical advice.
That said, it's likely not diabetes or a hypoglycemic event, as diabetes-induced hypoglycemia would likely result with more systemic symptoms versus localized, bilateral upper extremity numbness that occurs right after waking up. Moreover, if there is some peripheral neuropathy that has been brought about by Diabetes complications, you wouldn't have to wait until waking up to notice the changes in sensation to your upper extremities, as diabetic complications tend to be progressive versus merely transient.
This sounds a lot like nerve compression. If I had to guess, you are likely compressing (by way of how you sleep) parts of your cervical spine (likely C5-T1 region).
This is what your nerve innervation looks like in a nutshell:
Any compression (by sleeping in odd angles, possibly after a night of fun sex with your partner) to your C5, C6, C7, C8 and T1 roots can lead to sensory disturbances that can affect your arms throughout the regions as illustrated in that diagram above.
Moreover, your hands are innervated by the median, radial and ulnar nerve, which respectively feed off of the C5-T1 nerve roots that I mentioned before. Here are some nice pictures (below) for you to view with Em over coffee.
But again, don't listen to me. I am merely an accountant and can instead provide you with sound, anatomical dissection of the US tax code versus an explanation of your maladies via anatomy and pathophysiology.
If your issues continue, I would recommend going to your local orthopedist and seeing if they would be willing to do either a CT and/or MRI (Preferred if you can cover the costs) of your cervical spine. Furthermore, if the scan of your cervical spine does not reveal any nerve impingement via herniated or bulging discs, bone spurs, cervical facet joint issues or a (less likely) thickened ligamentum flavum, you can also try for an electromyography (EMG) with nerve conduction studies (these can be done by neurosurgeons, orthopedists, but more often times by a sad Neurologist somewhere).
Now, if all of the above proves to be unremarkable and your provider (assuming it's not an Orthopedic surgeon that only knows carpentry) has also ruled out diabetes, electrolyte disturbances, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus and a few other puppies, you could in fact have AIDS. If that's the case, then there is nothing I can offer you, but farewell.
