AB AT-A-GLANCEThe  incidence  of  diabetes  in  America  is  increasing  steadily  with  the  epidemic  of  obesity.Fourteen  percent  of  health  care  expenditures  in  America  are  diabetes  related.Metabolic  abnormalities  in  glucose  and  insulin  relate  directly  to  diabetic  thick  skin,  limited  joint  mobility,  eruptive  xanthomas,  and  acanthosis  nigricans.Neuropathy,  vasculopathy,  and  immune  dysfunction  associated  with  diabetes  contribute  directly  to  lower-extremity  ulcers  and  certain  cutaneous  infections.Diabetes-associated  skin  conditions  without  a  known  pathogenesis  include:  necrobiosis  lipoidica,  granuloma  annulare,  diabetic  dermopathy,  acquired  perforating  dermatosis,  and  bullosis  diabeticorum.
