Hi, i'v been an uncontrolled brittle diabetic since 99.I have had problems with triger finger, but that has seemed to eased off sumwhat. The problem now is my shoulders, i can'nt even lift my clothes over my head without terrible pain in my shoulder's and down my arm's. Could this triger finger move up my arm ??? if anyone has any ideas ?? p.s. am i in for MORE PAIN ???:confused:

The problem you probably have is called frozen shoulder. It is common in people with uncontrolled diabetes. Cortisone is often used, but it only masks the problem and will make your sugars even worse. Physiotherapy, with heat and manipulation, will fix the problem. For a permanent cure, you will need to get your blood sugars under control. Have you thought about a pump? What sort of regime are you on. There are quite a number of articles available about the theory behind "brittle" diabetes. I personally don't believe that there are very many people who are truly brittle. Very often it is simply that you haven't yet found what works for you, and someone to help you implement it.

Good luck.
