This may result in decreased morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.Diabetes rates are higher among obese patients, and in many regions of the world, obesity is occurring with an increased prevalence.Genetics can affect an individual’s likelihood of developing diabetes.Diabetes affects every organ of the body, but the highest morbidity is in the heart and kidneys. If patients are treated early and make the appropriate lifestyle changes, the symptoms of diabetes can usually be well managed.Some common cutaneous conditions induced by diabetes include skin infections, granuloma annulare, diabetic dermopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum, diabetic bullae, leg and foot ulcers, scleredema, and acanthosis nigricans.
