Carpal Tunnel May Predict Diabetes
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome May Indicate Future Diabetes Risk
Aug. 22, 2006 -- Carpal tunnel syndromeCarpal tunnel syndrome may be an early warning sign that diabetes is just around the corner.
The carpal tunnel is found in the wrist. In carpal tunnel syndrome, a nerve in the carpal tunnel becomes pinched due to swelling of the nerve and/or nearby tendons.
The pinched nerve can cause numbness, tingling, and sometimes pain in the fingers, hand, and forearm.
It's well known that people with diabetes are more likely to get carpal tunnel syndrome.
