The musculoskeletal system can be affected by diabetes in a number of ways. Some of the musculoskeletal conditions seen in diabetics are the same as those found in the general (nondiabetic) population, whereas others are unique to diabetes. The hands, shoulders, feet, muscles, and skeleton are some of the frequently affected sites. Although there is often no "cure" for these problems, there are treatments available that can significantly improve function and quality of life for diabetics with rheumatologic problems.
肌肉骨骼系统会以多种方式受到糖尿病的影响。糖尿病患者出现的一些肌肉骨骼病症与普通（非糖尿病）人群中发现的病症相同，而其他一些病症则是糖尿病所特有的。手、肩、脚、肌肉和骨骼是一些经常受到影响的部位。尽管这些问题通常无法“治愈”，但对于患有风湿性问题的糖尿病患者，有一些治疗方法可以显著改善其功能和生活质量。
