Had a very "interesting" chat with the diabetic lead at the GP.
On my left hand I have what was once thought to be a trigger pinky and overnight the other week, my third finger went into the same position and is stuck. On the scheduled zoom call, I mentioned it, showed her my hand, stuck fingers and she said, " There's a proven link between Diabetes and Dupuytren’s contracture which this looks like." She then went on to say my pinky was likely a warning and why didn't I get it checked... Last advice from her was this a secondary discussion as I had just been confirmed as a T2....
Question: anyone else here have a similar hand issue thought to be a consequence of diabetes?
Thanks as always and good morning from a beautiful sunny day in south west England!
