Article presents the research results reported in the scientific literature about the influence of diabetes on connective tissue and the bone-joint system. Material and methods. Analysis of literature. Conclusion. Due to its multi-systemic nature, the development of additional manifestations, such as musculoskeletal complications, is possible including, for example diabetic osteopathy, limited joint mobility, joint disorders, and other, many of which are subclinical and correlated with the disease duration and its inadequate control.
