Abstract
Introduction: An increased prevalence of musculoskeletal disease is recognized in diabetes and is a common source of disability. It is known to predominantly affect the upper limbs especially the hand and shoulder. The relationship with other complications of diabetes and glycaemic control is uncertain. We designed this study to clarify these relationships.
Methods: We identified a group of 188 people with established type 2 diabetes attending the diabetes clinic in Firouzgar hospital .After an interview a complete rheumatologic examination was done for all patients for the presence of musculoskeletal disease focusing on the upper limbs. We recorded the mean HbA1c and the presence of diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. We explored
correlations between musculoskeletal disease and these variables using logistic regression. 
Results: upper limb musculoskeletal disease was present in 48.4% of diabetics. This prevalence was significantly higher in females than males (OR=2/27, 95% CI: 1.22-4.22).
Dupuytren contracture (20.2%) ,trigger finger( 18%), limited joint mobility(LJM) (18.6%) carpal tunnel syndrome (10%), rotator cuff tendinitis (8%), Shoulder capsulitis (6%) were the most frequent findings and were much commoner in longstanding diseases. we couldn’t find any relation between mean HBA1c of one year and frequency of rheumatologic complications, also there was no significant difference between patients with yearly mean HBA1c more than 8.5 in frequency of rheumatologic complications with patients with better DM control.
In bivariant regression analysis presence of musculoskeletal involvement is risk factor for diabetic retinopathy(OR=2.87 ,95% CI :1.48-5.57 )
LJM usually coexisted with nephropathy (OR=3.44, 95% CI: 1.60-7.36). And best predicted the presence of nephropathy.
Patients were unaware of their rheumatologic problem in more than 70% of cases. And only 6% was aware about musculoskeletal complication of DM generally.
Conclusion: Thorough rheumatologic examination should be included as an integral part of care in Type 2DM patients. Diabetic patients and physicians need more education and attention respectively to this disabling complication of DM .Although we couldn’t find relation between glycaemic control and musculoskeletal involvement but in some other studies have been shown that better control of glucose level may be useful.
