Diabetes is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels or hyperglycemia, which results from abnormalities in either insulin secretion or insulin action or both. Hyperglycemia manifests in various forms with a varied presentation.
There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes (diabetes while pregnant).
Acanthosis nigricans
Acanthosis nigricans is the name for dry, dark patches of skin that usually appear in the armpits, neck or groin. It could be a sign of an underlying condition, so it needs to be checked by a GP.
Can acanthosis nigricans go away?
Will acanthosis nigricans go away on its own? AN will not go away on its own, but you don't always need medical treatment. If no underlying condition is causing AN, you can decide if you want to treat the dark patches.
Does dark armpits mean diabetes?
A dark patch (or band) of velvety skin on the back of your neck, armpit, groin, or elsewhere could mean that you have too much insulin in your blood. This is often a sign of prediabetes.
Diabetic dermopathy
Diabetic dermopathy refers to small lesions or spots on the skin. This diabetic skin condition can form anywhere on the body, but tends to develop on bony parts, such as the shins. This condition is fairly common for people with diabetes.
What does diabetic dermopathy look like?
Dermopathy often looks like light brown, scaly patches. These patches may be oval or circular. Some people mistake them for age spots. This disorder most often occurs on the front of both legs.
Dry and itchy skin
If you have diabetes, you're more likely to have dry skin. dry, itchy skin can be a result of poor circulation, which is more likely when you have diabetes. What causes it: Too much sugar in the blood causes the body to pull fluid from its cells so that it can produce enough urine to remove the excess sugar. This can make your skin dry.
Diabetic foot syndrome
Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS), as defined by the World Health Organization, is an “ulceration of the foot (distally from the ankle and including the ankle) associated with neuropathy and different grades of ischemia and infection”.
What are the signs of diabetic feet?

Recurrent bacterial infection
Why are diabetics more prone to skin infections?
Keep your diabetes well managed. People with high glucose levels tend to have dry skin and less ability to fend off harmful bacteria. Both conditions increase the risk of infection.
Recurrent fungal infection?
Are diabetics prone to fungal infections? A person with diabetes has a higher risk of a fungal infection, and diabetes can make treatment more challenging. It is important for people with diabetes to recognize symptoms of a fungal infection and to receive prompt treatment to avoid potentially serious complications.
