Does A Diabetic Take Longer Time In Healing After A Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery?
I am a diabetic that had a rotator cuff repair and slap tear that was clipped, bone spur,and manipulation done. Currently I am having therapy. It has only been 3 weeks since my surgery. My question is does it take diabetics longer to rehab with the movement of the arm than a non diabetic.

Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
No, diabetics doesn't take longer to rehabilitate with the movement of the arm than a non diabetic.
Take care to prevent any infections. Because infections take longer to heal than non diabetic. take care of controlling blood sugar levels also, because stress may rise them. Keep them checked.
