The development of periarticular thickening of skin on the hands and limited joint mobility (cheiroarthropathy) are associated with diabetes and can lead to significant disability.
Cheiroarthropathy is common in people with type 1 diabetes of long duration ( approximately 30 years) and is related to longer duration and higher levels of glycemia. Clinicians should include cheiroarthropathy in their routine history and physical examination of patients with type 1 diabetes because it causes clinically significant functional disability.
