Integumentary System

The integumentary system is composed of the skin. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can leave the skin more prone to bacterial and fungal infections, the American Diabetes Association notes. Moreover, poor oral hygiene may also lead to gum infections, according to MayoClinic.com. In addition, diabetes can affect blood vessels that cause the appearance of scaly patches of skin usually on the front part of the legs. Other skin related symptoms include atherosclerosis, a condition in which blood vessels are narrowed, causing the skin in an affected area to turn hairless, thin, and shiny. Insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes can cause a darkened areas of skin to appear in the armpits and the folds of the neck. This condition is called acanthosis nigricans.
There are 6 Diabetic Skin Care Tips that you should follow in order to control skin in a diabetic body:

  • Get educated. One key to preventing diabetic skin problems is to understand what causes them. Talk to your doctor. Learn about diabetic skin complications, what your particular risks are, and how you can lower them.
  • Control your diabetes. Getting -- and keeping -- your blood glucose within normal range can go far toward preventing common diabetic skin complications.
  • Be aware.  If you suffer from diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy), you could have an infected cut, scratch, or skin puncture and not know it.
  • Cover up.  This simple first line of defense can help you avoid the cuts and scratches that can lead to infection.
  • Keep skin comfortably dry, especially at armpits, toes, and groin. Talcum powder can help.
    But avoid drying skin out.
  • Moisturize if your skin is dry. The best time to moisturize is right after a shower or bath, when skin is still moist.
