15. Skin darkening

Acanthosis Nigricans is a condition that causes darkening and thickening in the skin, particularly where there are folds. The darkened skin can also have a raised texture and a slight elevation in some cases. The darkened skin is usually found under the breasts, armpits or neck.

Acanthosis Nigricans is often considered by doctors to be a sign of diabetes because it’s believed to be linked to insulin resistance. You should consult your doctor if you notice changes to your skin such as thickening or darkening. This will help determine the cause and create a treatment plan. Diabetes can be managed properly to reduce the risk for acanthosis and other complications.

16. Dehydration chronic

Dehydration can be a problem for people with diabetes, as high blood sugar levels can cause their body to remove water from the cells and not replenish it. Dehydration can be aggravated by frequent urination, which removes water from the body.

Dehydration can be fatal. Dehydration can cause a variety of health problems, including dry skin, impaired vision and joint pain, even at low levels. Drinking plenty of fluids and water is essential, especially if diabetes is present. Manage your blood sugar through diet, exercise and prescribed medication.
