My daughter has extreme hyper mobility and I have it to a certain degree. Heard quite a bit about a connection with diabetes not sure it’s a thing though
 
Fairly short list for me

Diabetes
Autism / Dyspraxia /Anxiety
Long QT Syndrome
M.E/Fibromyalgia tbc
A blood issue I forget the name of
 
Gastroparesis
chronic silent migraines
chronic fatigue syndrome/ME
neuropathy in legs and feet
Facet joint arthropathy in lower back and neck
Arthritis
Moderate scolios
Unidentified neurological conditions that causes ocular motility problems
closed angle glaucoma
previous hemi retinal vein occlusion that affected macula and caused neovascularisation
 
I have high blood pressure, tachycardia (both controlled with drugs). I think my cholesterol is fine but I take a low dose steroid anyway.

(And for a while I've had a frozen shoulder (the right one this time), but (as with the left a while ago) it's really mild and doesn't seem to be getting any worse so I haven't got around to trying to do anything about it beyond the usual stretching exercises.)
 
Just hypothyroidism, which is being treated with levothyroxine tablets. Seems to be genetic somehow as we have a history of diabetes (types 1 and 2) and my sister had her thyroid removed a couple of years ago after developing thyroid cancer.
 
another things I'm reminded off because i had a foot check yesterday. I do tend get tinging feelings in my feet( (it may not related to diabetes but i'm conscious of the fact it could be of the fact it could be) when i mentioned this is my nurse i thought she may want to get it checked but she didn't seem bothered but all she said "thats verry normal for diabetics" and then told me not to always have something on my feet arroud the house to minimise risks of uclars and in her words "ulcers are verry verry bad for diabetics"(before then i wouldnt have worryed about ucler anymore then i would before being dianosigeds)

Your mention of tingly things made me remember something from about 4 years ago before I was diabetic (or had been diagnosed) I had pins and needles in my hands on and off for a while, I looked it up and diabetes was listed as a possibility, but because the same year I had badly burnt my arm and it healed so quickly I assumed I couldnt have diabetes, I thought it may be carpal tunnel and didnt get it checked out as it wasnt painful just tingly
 
Diabetes type1 (brittle) 50 years this year.
Asthma
Eczema
Protein C deficiency (blood clots don't get cleared away so not good if you get covid which is avascular, blood clotting disease_
Had a DVT when 17 due to the above condition and have post DVT syndrome
Have had three frozen shoulders but solved that with a moving desk and hydraulic chair
Dupytren's in both little fingers
Cataracts (have had left eye done, had all three common types)
Have just had a big fall in egfr, so hoping not kidney disease.
 
Perk of type 1, free prescriptions.
Type 3c
Sticky blood syndrome (rivaroxaban)
Underactive thyroid
Epilepsy
Enlarged prostate
Chronic memory loss
Rls
Rhinitis
Hay fever

Have a full house soon.
