I have read your question fully and understand your concerns.
Cold peripheries could be due to hypothyroidism. It could be due to peripheral neuropathy – where the nerves of your hands and feet are affected. Peripheral neuropathy can be a complication of diabetes. It could also be due to poor circulation, called peripheral vascular disease, though it is a bit unlikely in your case as you are complaining in both your hands and feet.
I would advise you to see your doctor for a thorough assessment and examination and to come to a diagnosis.
I hope this answer has helped you.
Thank you
