Of patients, 34.65% presented at least one symptom defined as having most frequently recorded was 16.8% children. In subjects compared those without dysfunction, significant difference found height standard deviation scores, scores opening (p<0.001). HbA1c levels, duration, age gender did not reveal any differences between patients Type is often associated limited reflect more chronic condition possibly exceeds prevalence cheiroartropathy. could be starting point towards enhancing our understanding clinically evident involvement
