Diabetes and the Skin

Research output: Chapter/Conference proceedingChapterAcademic

Abstract

Skin manifestations of diabetes mellitus are frequent. Symptoms vary from mild cosmetic concerns to disabling conditions. The skin signs are not always recognized though they can be a presenting symptom of diabetes mellitus or a marker of advanced disease. In this chapter, different skin manifestations and their pathogenesis are discussed, some of them more specific for Type 1 diabetes mellitus, others for Type 2 or both. Cutaneous side effects of medications used to treat diabetes mellitus are discussed as well. Several clinical and histopathological images are included.
