Article Synopsis
- - Diabetic cheiroarthropathy is a common complication in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, affecting joint mobility and often mimicking other rheumatological diseases, making it frequently underdiagnosed.
- - The case presented is of a 52-year-old woman with poorly controlled diabetes, showing symptoms of diabetic cheiroarthropathy and peripheral neuropathy, despite having positive anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) without signs of autoimmune diseases.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of regular hand examinations for diabetic patients to identify diabetic cheiroarthropathy early, as it may indicate other microvascular complications of diabetes and guide timely medical intervention.
