التظاهرات الجلدية للداء السكري

Atotal of 156 diabetic patients displaying one or more dermatological manifestations were identified and thoroughly examined for any skin disorder. For diabetes we had measured the fasting glucose titers, and for internal patients it was obtained from the medical records. Results: most of the diabetic patients who developed cutaneous manifestations were between 40- 60 years old. Of the 156 patients, 98 had only 1 cutaneous manifestation, 40 had 2, 12 had 3 and 6 had 4. Skin infections were the major cutaneous manifestations; the second most common presenting symptom was pruritus. Patients with diabetes mellitus type2 were found to have increasing rate of cutaneous manifestations. As the duration of diabetes mellitus increases, the probability of developing cutaneous manifestations increases too.
