Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder, affecting 8.3% of the population Skin disorders will be present in around 60 % to 90% of people with diabetes. A study of 300 patients with diabetes found that the most common skin manifestations were cutaneous infections, xerosis, and inflammatory skin diseases. Individuals with type 2 diabetes are more likely than those with type 1 diabetes to develop cutaneous manifestations. Cutaneous disease can appear as the first sign of diabetes or may develop at any time in the course of the disease. This review provides a brief overview of skin conditions that primary care providers (PCPs) may encounter when treating patients with diabetes.
