Hi,

The problem with your right hand starting to be numb when having brisk walks might be related to:
- local blood flow problems (need to run echo doppler of the blood vessels of your right hand)
- increase in blood pressure : monitor your blood pressure when you are having such episode
- possible heart/brain event: further cardiac tests are needed including ECG, stress test, cardiac echo, holter monitoring and other tests after being physically checked by your doctor
- neurological problems : should be evaluated by neurologist to exclude them (possible diabetic neuropathy)

Hope it helped!
