Mayoclinic.org site listed risk factors to include diabetes, thyroid problems, heart disease and Parkinson's.

I have never tested positive for diabetes, but I have the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. I feel like inflammation in my body is running rampant and until I get it under control I can fall prey to any number of issues such as this.

Do you think my having frozen shoulder is a fluke or is there some merit to my concern?

Thank you.
