Abstract
Background: The association between diabetes and frozen shoulder is well established. However, the data regarding prediabetes and primary frozen shoulder (PFS) are still lacking. Methods: In a prospective study, 158 patients with PFS were included. The prediabetes status was ascertained by estimating serum hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with PFS. According to the level of HbA1c, patients were classified into normoglycemic, prediabetic, and diabetic. In addition, random blood sugar (RBS) was also performed. Results: Out of 158 participants, 84 (53.2%) were male and 74 (46.8%) were female. Nine patients had bilateral shoulder involvement, and all were diabetics; 47.5% (n = 75) of the patients were in the age group of 51-60 years, 16.5% (n = 26) of the participants were normoglycemic, 37.3% (n = 59) were prediabetics, and 46.2% (n = 73) were diabetics. The difference in mean HbA1c values between the 3 groups was statistically significant (P
