It is more common in people with diabetes, with an incidence of up to 20%. The exact cause is still unknown, but high blood sugar levels in diabetics may trigger the body's immune response or connective tissue abnormalities. Without proper treatment, frozen shoulder can lead to long-term disability and reduced quality of life. Treatment options include physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, and surgical intervention. Recovery from frozen shoulder can take one to three years, with diabetics experiencing a slower process. Regular exercise, controlling blood sugar levels, and regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help prevent frozen shoulder in diabetics. Neglecting frozen shoulder can result in permanent stiffness and loss of shoulder function. Early intervention is essential for optimal management.
