There are various chronic ailments that are considered to be inter-connected. One such combination is diabetes and arthritis. Often people have a misconception that arthritis causes diabetes or vice versa. Is it true that one of these chronic ailments leads to another? It is not so! Then why do people have this myth?

Let us analyze the connection between the two:

· First and foremost, over 53% of the patients report both the diseases together. This is most common in the case of rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.

· Next, diabetes in severe cases leads to immense body pain and weakness of the joints. These indications are common in both the diseases. In certain cases of diabetes, the two problems eventually develop arthritis.

· Also the means of prevention of arthritis & diabetes such as diets and workouts are almost similar. So many patients believe that the two diseases are inter connected.

· What we must check is that the medications for each are taken from different doctors and they have different tests & examination to be done.

Arthritis does not cause diabetes or vice versa. Here are some common means like workouts and diets to prevent both these ailments:

· The diets considered healthy for both are almost similar. You must take short meals in around every three hours. Avoid sugar & other unsaturated fat. Prefer taking low carbohydrates and focus on the fibers. A high fiber diet is good in the two ailments.

· Diet supplements like acai berry and resveratrol are known to cure both the diseases. How ever, the patient in either of the issue must only use natural supplements under the guidance of their physician.

· In terms of workouts, brisk walking for at least 30 minutes daily is a great option. For arthritis patients it strengthens the joints and for diabetes, it helps in reducing the blood glucose levels.
