Cutaneous manifestations of diabetes mellitus in controlled and uncontrolled state
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Diabetes Mellitus can be complicated by a variety of cutaneous manifestations. Good metabolic control may prevent some of these manifestations and may support cure. Almost all diabetic patients eventually develop skin complications from long term effects of Diabetes Mellitus on the microcirculation and skin collagen. Cutaneous infections are more common in type 2 diabetes. Patients, who had diabetes for many years, tend to develop the most devastating skin problems. Aim: To evaluate the pattern of cutaneous manifestations in Diabetes Mellitus in controlled and uncontrolled State. Material and methods: Two hundred patients with the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type-II (100 controlled and 100 uncontrolled) attending the outpatient departments of dermatology and medicine of B.P.S. Govt. Medical College, Khanpur Kalan, Dist. Sonepat were studied. Results: Among the cutaneous disorders commonly associated with diabetes, infections (49%) were the most prevalent. Conclusion: One should be vigilant enough for the cutaneous manifestations as they are the window to the systemic illness.
