I was browsing some scientific papers (as one does) and found a study linking AxSpA and diabetes.
The meta-analysis and narrative review including more than 65 000 participants reporting around 4500 cases of diabetes from 23 observational studies presents an overall picture on the high prevalence of diabetes in people with axSpA. We also found that people with axSpA compared to those without have an increased risk of developing diabetes.

Make of that what you will.
