Skin and diabetes

Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am. 1996 Jun;25(2):463-72. doi: 10.1016/s0889-8529(05)70334-0.

Abstract

Skin manifestations associated with diabetes mellitus are common and, with close scrutiny, can occur in most, if not all, patients. Little information is available on what common pathophysiologic thread is responsible for the skin manifestation and diabetes. Although controlled studies are lacking, a recognition of the skin manifestations, treatment, and prognosis will help patients and their caregivers to understand treatment alternatives more clearly.
