Brief Answer: investigation and physician referral advised Detailed Answer: Hi XXXX Welcome to healthcare magic. The fasting blood sugar of 89 indicates that your blood sugar is in controlled range and is not a cause for cold extremities. Blood pressure medicines called beta blockers can cause cold extremities, if you are on this class of drugs consult your physician for switching. The joint pains along with cold extremities may also indicate some altogether different disease, you should get evaluation by a local clinician and get relevant investigations. I hope the advice will be helpful for you.
