Overview
Diabetes mellitus is metabolic disorder with large spectrum of skin manifestations, which involves up to 50 % of diabetic patients. Skin complications appear as a consequence of hyperglycaemia, diabetic microangiopathy, macroangiopathy and neuropathy. Skin manifestations may be the first indicator of the disease, marker of decompensation as well as the consequence of the treatment of diabetes. Authors summarize the essential skin changes associated with diabetes.
Key words:
diabetes mellitus – skin manifestations
