      Mellitus in Basrah, Iraq.

AB  - Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a clinical illness usually linked to a wide range of 
      skin manifestations; however, skin, as the greatest organ in the body, has 
      received little attention. As a result, this study aimed to detect the prevalence 
      and pattern of non-infectious skin disorders among patients with diabetes. This 
      study was carried out at the Faiha Specialized Diabetes, Endocrine, and 
      Metabolism Center, Basrah Province, Iraq, from September 2020 to September 2021. 
      The data were collected from 347 patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) 
      and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The exclusion criteria were patients with 
      skin changes due to some medications, pregnancy, iatrogenic factors, skin 
      infections, established hypo- or hyper-thyroidism, Cushing or adrenal 
      insufficiency, pituitary disorders, end-stage renal impairment, malignancy, and 
      established rheumatological disease and those who were on chemotherapy. Full 
      dermatological examinations and screenings were performed under the supervision 
      of a dermatologist expert and all clinically definable cutaneous lesions were 
      recorded. The prevalence of skin lesions was estimated at 71.5% in patients. 
      Pruritus, xerosis, acrochordon, diabetic dermopathy, acanthosis nigricans, and 
      insulin-related lipohypertrophy were the commonest skin lesions reported among 
      the patients. The occurrence of skin lesions in diabetic patients was 
      proportional to the female gender, duration of disease, obesity, insulin therapy, 
      and worse glycemic control. There was a broad spectrum of skin lesions in both 
      T1DM and T2DM with corresponding prevalence.
