Frozen shoulder (FS) is a disabling and sometimes severely painful shoulder condition that is commonly managed in a primary care setting. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a high risk of developing pain or other symptoms from their shoulders.
Literature states that early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus may reduce the risk of long-term chronic disability of the shoulder as well as other complications. However, recently a report mentioned that there are different associations of frozen shoulder with gender and that haemoglobin A1C were observed for type 1 (T1D) or type 2 (T2D) diabetes, according to the study published in the Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes.
