Almost all diabetic patients eventually develop skin complications from long term effects of Diabetes Mellitus on the microcirculation and skin collagen. Cutaneous infections are more common in type 2 diabetes. Patients, who had diabetes for many years, tend to develop the most devastating skin problems. Aim: To evaluate the pattern of cutaneous manifestations in Diabetes Mellitus in controlled and uncontrolled State. Material and methods: Two hundred patients with the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type-II (100 controlled and 100 uncontrolled) attending the outpatient departments of dermatology and medicine of B.P.S. Govt. Medical College, Khanpur Kalan, Dist. Sonepat were studied Results: Among the cutaneous disorders commonly associated with diabetes, infections (49%) were the most prevalent. Conclusion: One should be vigilant enough for the cutaneous manifestations as they are the window to the systemic illness.
