Dear sir/madam
Insulin dependent diabetes sometimes poses the state of immunocomprimised. So you are very much prone to infections.
Even they are prone to develop muscle spasms and frozen shoulders so what best you can do is to
1. Chest x ray
2. bone mineral density evaluation.
3. calcium supplementation along with vitamin d3 in adequate doses
thanks
