[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1897606, member: 429870"] I found this on Jenny Ruhl's site: "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome May Indicate Future Diabetes Risk By [URL='https://www.webmd.com/miranda-hitti']Miranda Hitti[/URL] [SIZE=4][B]This article is from the WebMD News Archive[/B][/SIZE] This content has not been reviewed within the past year and may not represent WebMD's most up-to-date information. Aug. 22, 2006 -- Carpal tunnel syndrome may be an early warning sign that diabetes is just around the corner. The carpal tunnel is found in the wrist. In [URL='https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/carpal-tunnel/ss/slideshow-carpal-overview']carpal tunnel syndrome[/URL], a nerve in the carpal tunnel becomes pinched due to swelling of the nerve and/or nearby tendons. The [URL='https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/guide/compressed-nerves']pinched nerve[/URL] can cause numbness, tingling, and sometimes pain in the fingers, hand, and forearm. It's well known that people with [URL='https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/diabetes-health-check/default.htm']diabetes[/URL] are more likely to get carpal tunnel syndrome. But researchers wanted to find out if the risk actually goes up before diabetes develops -- when a person has pre-diabetes. In pre-diabetes, [URL='https://www.webmd.com/diet/fasting']fasting[/URL] [URL='https://www.webmd.com/webmd/consumer_assets/controlled_content/healthwise/medicaltest/blood_glucose_medicaltest_hw8252.xml']blood sugar[/URL] is 100 to 125 mg/dL. Diabetes develops once the fasting [URL='https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/daily-control-17/slideshow-blood-sugar-swings']blood sugar[/URL]reaches 126. [SIZE=5][B]The Diabetes Carpal Tunnel Link[/B][/SIZE] So, researchers, including Martin Gulliford, FRCP, of King's College in London, looked at 2,655 patients with pre-diabetes who later went on to develop diabetes. They were compared with nearly 5,300 people without the disease. Next, Gulliford's team scrolled back through nearly nine years of the patients' medical records. The researchers found that people who had been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome were 36% more likely to later be diagnosed with diabetes, regardless of other diabetes risk factors. The study doesn't prove carpal tunnel syndrome causes diabetes." Full test here: [URL]https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/carpal-tunnel/news/20060822/carpal-tunnel-predict-diabetes[/URL] [/QUOTE]
