Ultrasonographic Achilles Tendon Measurements and Static and Dynamic Balance in Prediabetes.

Results: In the prediabetes group, the median dynamic balance scores [54.0 (51.0–56.0)] were lower than those of the control group [55.0 (54.0–56.0)] but higher than those of the patients with diabetes mellitus [52.50 (49.0–54.25)]; however, this difference did not reach statistical significance.

Without these other risk factors, the thickening of the Achilles tendon may not be significant or substantial enough to disrupt balance in overt diabetes by itself.
