Abstract
Skin changes could develope in 25-50% of diabetic patients during their life span. Skin changes are divided in lesions related to bad metabolic control disappearing after improvement of metabolic control (pruritus, skin infections), lesions not related to metabolic control (macrovascular and microvascular complications) and skin lesions resulting from diabetes therapy (allergic skin lesions, lipodystrophy).
This article discusses ethiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestation of the most frequently observed skin changes in diabetic patients.
