Complications:
Dry Skin by Dr. Charles Lynde
Diabetes affects many body organs, including the largest of the
body, the skin. Some skin conditions are specific to diabetes,
but most of them also occur in the general population. In addition,
the clinical symptoms and complications of skin disease are frequently
more severe in the context of diabetes.

Glucose
Meters & Diabetes Management
When people with diabetes can control their blood sugar (glucose),
they are more likely to stay healthy. People with diabetes use
two kinds of management devices: glucose meters and other diabetes
management tests. Glucose meters help people with diabetes check
their blood sugar at home, school, work, and play. Other blood
and urine tests reveal trends in diabetes management and help
identify diabetes complications.

Whether you have just been diagnosed with diabetes or you have
lived with the condition for many years, your concerns are probably
much the same - to learn to live a full and healthy life with
diabetes.

The
American Diabetes Association
Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly
use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar,
starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The
cause of diabetes continues to be a mystery, although both genetics
and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise
appear to play roles.

CDC
Diabetes Public Care Resource
CDC has had a diabetes division since 1977. In 1989, the name
of the division was changed to Division of Diabetes Translation,
meaning that the division translates science into daily practice.
In our applied or "translation" research, we take information
from clinical trials and incorporate it into clinical and public
health practices.
