Abstract
Objective: To find the prevalence of frozen shoulder in patients with diabetes mellitus and its association with different demographics and non-demographics variables.

Out of 115 who had shoulder pain, 63 (54.78%) were diagnosed with frozen shoulder, which was associated with gender (p=0.010), duration of diabetes (p=0.01), HbA1c (p=0.044) and family history (p=0.04).
Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus has association with frozen shoulder and the highest percentage is among female diabetics.
