Today we’re going to talk about how certain skin conditions can help you identify if someone has diabetes.
High blood glucose affects the skin both directly and indirectly. Insulin, a hormone that helps lower glucose, can also affect the skin.
When you have high blood glucose, you’ll typically also have high insulin and insulin resistance, at least in the beginning.
Skin conditions that can be related to high insulin: 1. Acanthosis nigricans 2. Skin tags 3. Digital sclerosis 4. Acne 5. Baker’s cysts
Skin conditions that can be related to high blood sugar: 1. Petechiae and purpura 2. Gangrene 3. Ulcers in the legs or feet 4. Swollen red eyelids
The best remedies for skin conditions related to diabetes: • Get on the Healthy Keto® diet • Do intermittent fasting • Consume one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed in water a few times a day • Take berberine
