["Limited joint mobility". Diabetes-specific joint changes in diabetic children]

This paper describes a case of limited joint mobility (diabetic cheiroarthropathy) observed in our pediatric diabetological outpatients department. Symptoms are limited mobility of big and small joints, thickened, waxy skin, delay in growth and maturation. Of major importance is the reference to the microvascular risk of 83% as stated by Rosenbloom in diabetes patients of Type I suffering from limited joint mobility and this signifying unfavourable prognoses.
