Tendons problems cause type 2 diabetes, warn studies of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons due to the wear associated with age, violent efforts, wounds and obesity.

The tendons, consisting of collagen fibers, are nourished from fine blood vessels.

Rheumatic diseases are not directly related to diabetes;However, diabetes alone can cause musculoskeletal changes that lead to symptoms such as joint pain, stiffness and inflammation;as well as nodules under the skin, mainly on the fingers, trigger finger, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder and feet pain.

Another investigation of the Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association points out that there are connections between diabetes and muscle pain, specifically shoulder tendonitis.

This is an example of "referred pain," when pain is felt in one place (muscles) even though the problem arises in another (tendons).

Clinical and experimental studies show that diabetes, obesity and metabolic diseases are associated with tendon degeneration.

The general treatment of tendinopathies includes the use of non -steroidal anti -inflammatories, local corticosteroid and physical therapy injection.

It is better to prevent than regret, you know what problems in the tendons cause type 2 diabetes. Don't trust yourself!
