Limited joint mobility is a relatively recent addition to the list of other well known rheumatic disorders that may be associated with diabetes mellitus. In our study of 109 patients with diabetes, a higher prevalence of Dupuytren's contracture was found compared to nondiabetic subjects, but the difference was not statistically significant (p less than 0.1). An association between limited joint mobility and Dupuytren's contracture was shown. Patients with diabetes with Dupuytren's contracture showed no difference compared to those without Dupuytren's contracture with regard to sex, insulin dosage, metabolic control and presence of shoulder capsulitis. Limited joint mobility and Dupuytren's contracture may be associated with retinopathy.

Limited joint mobility and shoulder capsulitis were evaluated in 109 consecutive diabetic patients attending an out-patient diabetic clinic. Forty-nine had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and 60 had non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Seventy-five normal subjects were also examined. Limitation of joint mobility was detected in 24 (49%) patients with IDDM and in 31 (52%) patients with NIDDM but in only 17 (20%) normal subjects (p less than 0.001). There were no significant differences between diabetic patients with and without joint limitation with regard to age, sex, type of DM, mean daily insulin dosage and overall diabetic control as assessed by estimation of glycosylated haemoglobin concentration. However, patients with impaired joint mobility had a longer duration of diabetes (p = 0.01) and a significantly increased frequency of retinopathy compared to patients without joint limitation (p less than 0.05). Normal subjects with restricted joint mobility were older than those without restriction (p = 0.05). Shoulder capsulitis was present in 19% of patients with diabetes mellitus and 5% of normal subjects. However, there was no significant association between limited joint mobility and shoulder capsulitis in the diabetics.

Sixty patients presenting consecutively with shoulder pain to a rheumatology clinic have been studied. There was a significant association of shoulder capsulitis with diabetes mellitus and antecedent trauma when compared with supraspinatus tendonitis (SST). There were no immunological or other biochemical differences between the capsulitis and SST patients. The results suggest that patients with shoulder capsulitis should be investigated to exclude diabetes mellitus particularly when there is no history of antecedent trauma.
