Information: Diabetes has an adverse effect on any soft tissue pathology  I cannot lay my hands on the info at present due to an HDD crash  I do recall, however, that the British Diabetes Association published an article on this subject last year

Comment: I take it this means that if someone has RSI and diabetes; the RSI will be exacerbated by the diabetes. (I’m afraid I don’t know whether all forms of RSI are soft tissue problems: the sheaths over tendons are damaged in my case, and I imagine that is a soft tissue problem. E.g. .)  It follows of course that undiagnosed diabetes (my father’s was undiagnosed for a while) could exacerbate such conditions.  Is that the sense in which some symptoms of RSI could also be said to be symptoms of diabetes?
