Diabetes and arthritis.
The key to control of the musculoskeletal complications of diabetes is tight control of the glucose intolerance. Presence of neuropathic arthropathy requires protection of the involved joint(s) from trauma. Attention to these intercurrent musculoskeletal problems should help to improve the quality of life for those whose glucose tolerance is compromised.
