OBJECTIVE: Hand involvement is one of the chronic complications of the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite the increasing studies in international literatures about 'Diabetic Hand' in recent years, there are only a few studies on 'Diabetic Hand' in our country. We aimed in this study that, to determine the prevalence of hand disorders in patients with T2DM who admitted to a tertiary hospital’s endocrinology outpatient clinic in Central Anatolian Region of Republic of Turkey, and to investigate relationship of hand disorders and diabetes related laboratory and clinic data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with T2DM, 18-65 years old, who admitted to a tertiary hospital’s endocrinology outpatient clinic in Central Anatolian Region of Republic of Turkey were enrolled in the study, consecutively. Patients who had other diseases lead to hand disorders were excluded. Patients’ demographic, diabetes related clinic and laboratory data were recorded. The information about the patients’ microvascular and macrovascular complications was obtained from hospital information system. Patients’ hand examination was performed by a physiatrist who was blinded to patients’ DM related data. RESULTS: A total of 117 patients with T2DM, 86 of whom (73.5%) were women, were included in the study. Two third of the patients had hand complaints. Almost three fourth of the patients had at least one hand disorder. Prevalence of the hand complications was as follows; limited joint mobility: 43.6%; carpal tunnel syndrome: 54.7%; Dupuytren’s contracture: 13.7%; trigger finger: 7.7%; sclerodactyly: 32.5%; and complex regional pain syndrome: 1.7%. CONCLUSION: Hand involvement, which is one of the common complications in T2DM, was detected in almost 3 of every 4 patients in the follow-up patients of a tertiary hospital in Central Anatolia Region. When evaluating patients with T2DM, hand involvement should also be evaluated.
