Frozen Shoulder And Diabetes

[nailit]

Never heard before that a frozen shoulder could be linked to diabetes...

Been the doctors this morning with a frozen shoulder, Ive had it since before Christmas and hoped it would right itself, it hasn't, its got worse. He examined me and asked questions and is sending me for a blood test for diabetes.

1) How is a frozen shoulder linked to diabetes? never heard that b4

2) I told him that I couldn't have diabetes as Im gaining weight, not loosing it.

Anyone ever heard of this b4? Im getting worried now as im already trying to cope with other ailments... depression, back pain, weight gain, failing eyesight etc

Ah, the joys of ageing!

Didn't have time to mention it today, the gp had a full surgery and was a bit pushed and I didn't think it was relevant at the time.

I know that Mirtazapine can mess with your sugar levels ( I used to be on it) I can't say with certainty, but have read many times it can lead to diabetes. Let's hope this isn't the case! You've obviously got enough to deal with. Best wishes.

Thank you Patsy.

Metallic taste in mouth is a common complaint in the diabetes forum, whether people are medicated for diabetes or regulate it by diet.
But then again, a lot of people who haven't got diabetes complain of a funny taste in their mouth, too.

When my sugar levels are high food doesn't taste right to me.

interesting hc, thank you.

One of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes IS losing weight.
If you're overweight then you can be at an increased risk of developing type 2, gaining weight isn't a symptom of having developed type 2.
