Why does it happen?
High blood sugar leads to stiffness in connective tissues.
Symptoms
- Gradual onset stiffness
- Pain with movement
- Restricted range of motion
Prevention
- Good sugar control
- Regular exercise
- Early physiotherapy
Many patients ignore early symptoms, leading to prolonged disability.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
High blood sugar stiffens connective tissue, which is why diabetes raises the risk of shoulder problems, especially frozen shoulder. Stiffness builds gradually, hurts on movement and limits range of motion. Good sugar control, regular exercise and early physiotherapy make the difference.
