Abstract: Sufferings of frozen shoulder patients know no bounds. Adding diabetes with frozen shoulder make it more complicated. This short term cross cut survey was conducted to assess prevalence of frozen shoulder among diabetes mellitus patients. Diabetes was confirmed by checking diabetes book or medical records. Frozen shoulder was detected first in the outdoor and later during interview also. Average age of the patient’s was 53.16±11.39 years. Half of the patients were graduate. Service holder, businessman, housewife, retired, farmer and day labor were 28%, 24%, 20%, 16%, 8% and 4% respectively. Average monthly family income of the patients was 29908.00±13640.89 BDT. More than half of the patients (53.6%) earned ≤30000 BDT. Prevalence of frozen shoulder among diabetic patients was 14.40%.No statistical association was found between frozen shoulder and gender (p=0.488>0.05).So it is concluding that prevalence of frozen shoulder among diabetes patients is still high enough. Why frozen shoulder is increasing among diabetic patients -can be studied extensively in future.
