Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyse the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes among subjects with daily chronic widespread pain (DCWP). In the multivariate analysis, DCWP was significantly associated with prediabetes and diabetes. Persistent chronic pain at multiple sites may be an additional symptom of prediabetes and diabetes.
