Abstract

The main objective of study includes o evaluate association of osteoarthritis in patients with DM and to suggest health care professionals that a part from FBS,GRBS,HBA1C lab tests in Diabetic patients ESR, CRP levels should be performed to prevent further occurrence of musculo-skeletal disorders.our study invovlves 154 subjects out of which 76 subjects are diabetic and 80 are non-diabetic among which participants are assessed using ACR diagnosing criteria of OA along with risk factor consideration in which diabetic subjects are more prone for occurrence of osteoarthritis in comparision to non-diabetic individuals. All participants are examined by taking socio-demographics, health-related behaviour, diagnosing criteria along with risk factor consideration. Finally to recapitulate the study we strongly state that that OA is associated with DM and the mechanism is proved by our study and we suggest that in DM apart from examining glucose level CRP,ESR,RHEUMATOID FACTOR should be evaluated as DM patients are also more prone to musculo skeletal disorder. Pre assessment can be done.
