Hello
After going through the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that as you have risk factors like diabetes and hypertension, so the possible reason for your health issue is an underlying neurological or a vascular problem.
The chances of having these issues increases even further if you have a habit of smoking too.
There is a need of physical examination of your pulses of hand and arm at different levels. so it’s advisable that you should personally visit your primary care physician as few blood test and probably a vascular Doppler of your cold hand will be needed.
Kind Regards
