Get a "Grrrip!" Diabetes and Your Hands
You try to open the jar, but your grip has lost it's strength. No matter how lightly you try to grip, your hands hurt and do not allow you to use them anymore. How will this affct your life or the life of a loved one who suffers with diabetes?
Diabetes can affect the muscles and joints of your hands.
When you hear about the complications of diabetes, you usually hear about your heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, and feet. But diabetes can affect the muscles and joints of your hands, too.
Diabetes related hand conditions are usually not life-threatening, but they can have a great impact on the quality of your life.
Poor blood sugar control is thought to play a major role in diabetes-related musculoskeletal disorders of the hands. The theory is that high blood sugars change the amount and character of the protein and collagen in your tissues, leading to damage of small blood vessels.
Three musculoskeletal conditions associated with diabetes can ffect your hands: stiff-hand syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, and
carpal tunnel syndrome.
When it comes to your hands, good blood sugar control and exercise can go a long way. Keeping your hands limber will not only lessen your risk of future hand problems; it will also greatly contribute to your independence and enjoyment of life.
Ask your doctor about diabetes and have your blood sugar checked several times a year.
