Diabetic Bone & Joint Complications

Often diabetic neuropathy, arterial disease and obesity can lead to a greater predisposition towards various bone and joint disorders. Some of the common bone and joint complications include Charcot joint, diabetic hand syndrome, Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, and so on. The only way of overcoming diabetes-related bone and joint complications is to identify them early. It is advisable to be aware of the conditions to be able to treat them before they develop further, cause pain, discomfort or restrict movement.
