Hi, some of these symptoms can be also caused by heart surgery? I have problems with my skin, but mostly on my head, face, the front and the back of my neck, and it goes down on both sides of the surgery and stops right on top where the heart is, my main problem is dry skin, and I am using treatment for dermatitis, it took about 3 years until I could go back using normal shampoo until then I always had dry skin, infections, and open wounds, and the diet had a very small impact on the long term. And on the left side I have a poor blood circulation, from the surgery, most of the times I have to stop from working on something that requires force, even when I do push-ups, or other physical exercises, I have to stop either because the blood doesn't flow fast enough to pump the muscles, or my skin starts drying like Sahara desert in seconds to 1-2 minutes. And from all the symptoms and pictures you showed in this video, only the itchy skin is my main problem, everything else like open wounds, and infections, they don't look at all like the problems I had with my skin until I started using the treatment. And I'm not sure if the lower blood circulation can affect the internal organs, because I started having problems in the past 2-3 years with sugar levels, so I started drinking milk and vitamin waters for more than 4 months and that helped a lot, I coudn't even eat pizza without feeling like throwing up, 4 months later I managed to eat half without a problem. So, I feel kind of dumb here 🤔
I found this video to most instructive. I don't have diabetes, but your suggestion about blisters rang a bell. I am an avid power walker. I get blisters, especially if I haven't been out for a period of time. Blisters hurt. Popping a blister without tearing off the outer skin relieves the pressure and keeps the wound mostly secure. Never "popping" a blister with something like a nick with fingernail clippers, isn't necessarily great advice. I've never had a problem with this approach and I'm willing to bet most people haven't either. Caution, in the extreme, is caution gone too far. What you end up with in this situation, is probably great callouses.
I haven't seen one
should review my case mine is special i had kidney failure with a1c of 5.3 was eating all low carb food.... since then i have blown up in weight and hard to even control my Bg levels my kidney doctor is trying to find me a special like you. now i have been told i may have a rare problem where my body doesnt flush out Oxalates. At a lost on what to eat now!
I have a low pressure but they just say drink water.
Thanks Doc. Super informative. Suggestion: please show how these skin problems look on brown skin as well. All skin problems present with different colors on brown skin and look different but almost all of your images were on light skin ppl. Please show both so we know how it might look on all of us. Thank you.
Thank you for the suggestion. We will put that in our bucket list for future videos.
They look the same you 🤡

@@ceciliapreziose3783 Welcome!
Appreciate your summary notes! Dr. Ergin’s videos are worth taking notes on!
I've been suffering with skin rash but I've never been tested for diabetes. I stumbled on your video and now I'm convinced I have diabetes. I'm going to my doctor asap! Thank you Doc. You probably saved my life!
This video is a sign from above I need to pull my head in and start taking care of myself... I'm 27 and have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since I was 12 weighing in at a whooping 120kgs I lost over 40kgs when I turned 16 over about 2 years. Up until 2 years ago I managed to stay under 100kgs, until I got back together with my partner. I've slowly gotten lazy again n gained all my weight back I'm currently about 112kgs and NEARLY EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE SKIN ISSUES are reappearing slowly again.
Thanks Dr for giving me a massive wake up call I don't wanna surcome to my diabetes and teach my daughter that this life is normal as I grew up thinking it was...
Type II diabetics experiencing the thirst and vicious circle of drinking water and going to the bathroom will often deplete their B vitamins. Taking regular supplements of B vitamins (they work together), Vitamin E, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Gamma lipoic acid will help your body metabolize the sugars present in your diet (even if you are eating low carb). One of the symptoms of low B6 or low B7 is the pins and needles tingling in the fingers which is common to type II diabetes mellitus. I found this out by reading books, my doctor didn't mention it.
Some of the natural forms of B vitamins include Bee pollen, leafy green vegetables. Some of these vegetables can be high in oxalates so best to pick some with low levels of oxalates because you're already putting your kidneys under a lot of stress if you're in the frequent urination circle. Diabetes is a disease of inflammation so eating foods rich in antioxidants that fight inflammation can help. They also provide fiber that feed your gut bacteria. This type of food is usually plant-base and isn't found in boxes.
One hormone which contributes to the release of glucose in the blood stream is cortisol, the stress hormone. Best to avoid people who stress you out, Yoga may be an option to reduce stress levels. Avoid arguing with dumb people on social media, take a walk instead.
Great recommendations, thank you for commenting.
Thanks for sharing!
B12 important for diabetics but vit B tablets are not biologically available to the body, which us why those with pernicious anaemia have B12 injections. Only biologically available B12 tablets is methylcobalamine.
Thank you
You are telling the truth about stress. I know that's what caused my hormone imbalance and weight gain.
Number 1: No sugar. Number 2: low carbs
Number 3: intermittent fasting. A1C from 7.4 to 5.4 in 6 months!
👍👍
Awesome
what easy alternates you can recommend for a "no sugar", low carbs diet?
Water 😂
@@hemanth_esram Of course, with lemon! 😊
I was well on my way to being diabetic but I started watching my diet and made changes and my a1c went from 7.2 to 6.1 and I can tell such a difference in how I feel and Lost 29 pounds also
Well done
👼👼
I used to work with medical people, i think fasting with 110 is high. Better go to different doctor.
You are a diabetic with an A1c of 7.2 not well on your way. However losing weight is a plus, since it helps lower your A1c.
@@lindywinn2447they are now 6.1 A1C read (think) before posting (speaking) lowered from 7.2
30 yrs with type 2 diabetes and Praise God, I've never experienced anything that even resembles these symptoms.. and I pray I never do!!
My parents and sister had diabetes...the skin conditions mentioned manifested to them before they passed...my sister even had her right leg amputated due to a wound in her big toe that got infected that led to her amputation. Diabetes runs in my family from both sides (mom and dad)... thats why im very much careful with carb and sugar intake...
I don’t know why TH-cam recommended this video but now I am started to look around my whole body parts.
My father was diabetic and in a nursing home when he developed a lesion on his foot. It was exactly as you described. In a brief period of time, he needed his foot amputated. After the surgery, I found out they went all the way above the knee for the amputation. He was wheel-chair bound before and would not have been able to check for sores himself. Make sure your loved ones are being checked frequently when they can not do it themselves.
He had gangrene infection so lost his leg as a result and amputation is necessary to have saved his life
@@Pwong620 He was in a skilled nursing facility with 24/7 care. It should never have gotten so bad that an amputation was required.
@@carolinamom4934 Exactly! Too many nursing homes do the bare minimum, and this needs to stop. Remember everyone, we all get older.
@@carolinamom4934 so true!!
I'm really sorry to hear this about your Dad. I hope he's doing better!
I have a male friend that has type 2 diabetes and I have learned more from you than I have learned from all his diabetes drs over the years. I watch your videos to help my friend out. He gets the blisters on his knuckles and this just started about a year ago. He goes through hell with diabetic neuropathy pain in his feet. He sometimes sits and crys because it burns so bad on his feet. He says it feels Iike someone is burning his feet with a fist full of lit cigars. His hands and feet also have numbness in them. He has diabetic gastroparisis in his stomach, and he gets sick at his stomach and throws up from the gastroparisis. It's really sad to watch him suffer so much. He's such a good person and he doesn't deserve to suffer like that. I wish I could do more for him to help him. Thank you so much for all your amazing videos. You have no idea how much you are helping diabetics get better control of their diabetes. God Bless you and may the Lord keep you safe and healthy for many many years to come.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate you. Please also consider sharing this content on social media.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL! I do suffer from some of the dark spots on the shins, but no other symptoms. I will talk to my doctor about this.

I had skin tags.
Started intermittent fasting and they went away.
Also have lost 40 pounds in 4 or 5 months.
Hope this helps people, I had eruptive xanthomas back in May 2021 but didn't know that's what it was at the time. I went to urgent care to find out what it was but she didn't know and put me on amoxicilin. By the end of June it had spread everywhere and I had to call 911 during a heatwave because I was dizzy and about to pass out. Woke up 8 days later and spent 17 days in the hospital with pancreatitis I wasn't expected to survive. Hypertriglyceridemia as well. Triglycerides over 4000, blood sugar of 484. Today I've lost 45 pounds and my 90 day blood sugar average is 130 👍
What makes feels burning inside of the legs?
Did you get the jab because this sounds alot like what happened to my sister 2 weeks after her due diligence
@@lady4191 I already had the xanthomas when I got the jab. I was actually surprised they didn't ask me about them or resist when I got my first vax shot because I looked like I had chicken pox all over my arm.
@@MattKeller You must have not had a primary care physician at that time? A simple blood test would have diagnosed you with diabetes! Good Grief, you must have had high blood sugar AND been in a totally crappy physical state of health for a longgg period of time!? You are lucky you survived and surely you lead a healthier life-style now??🤔
Thank you very informative. I didn’t know what was going on with my skin because I’m 63 and it had always been so smooth soft and silky. I had really begun to become depressed about it. Thank you again. Understanding what it may be really helps.
Thank you so much for all the cool information! My husband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few years ago when he was just not feeling himself for a couple months and ended up in the ER with his blood sugar at 832! They said he was lucky to be conscious and alive! We knew nothing about diabetes. He’s 56 now and is much better at managing his diabetes but he has a bad habit of skipping meals and/or meds so I am learning as much as possible about the disease so I can stay informed and help him as much as possible. I have learned how to cook healthy food and have lots of diabetic recipe books and get a lot of recipes from TH-cam as well. So glad I found your channel! I am definitely going to subscribe. Diabetes is on both sides of my family in almost all of my relatives on my dad’s side and about half on my mom’s side. I am 45 and don’t have diabetes so far, however, 8 years ago during my last pregnancy, I did develop Gestational Diabetes with our daughter but thankfully it went away shortly after her birth. I look forward to learning more from your channel! Have a beautiful rest of your day! :-)
Oh and I also had gestational diabetes. Watch your child carefully. Best wishes to you and your family
Not sure most ppl understand Gestational diabetes.. and how it works..nor how it/what it affects in a new born infant.. Gestational diabetes is basically insulin resistance due to pregnancy hormones.. which is why it goes away after giving birth-- and why when that occurs varies from person to person based on how/when their hormone levels return to "normal" or pre pregnancy levels. Typically the ONLY affect it has on newborn babies is shortly after birth-- depending on the mother's situation.. where an infant may (or may not) experience temporary or intermittent hypoglycemia/low blood sugars.. until their body self adjusts, & acclimates to being out of the womb. Same thing that happens to Babies or type 1 & type 2 mom"s... unless the infant has a genetic predisposition (NOT just a family history, but actual genetic markers in their DNA), then the "affects" of Gestational diabetes (or ANY type of diabetes really)is temporary, limited, & doesn't last. Saying "watch your kid".. isn't necessarily an accurate statement. While ALL types of diabetics are based in/start with our DNA/genetics. What triggers the body, even w/in families-- is different, & not everyone will have the same thing happen to them in the same/similar situations (i.e. pregnancy). Thus why ppl don't understand how a child can be diagnosed type 1 diabetic with no parent who is diabetic.. because family medical history and DNA/genetics of medical conditions, being predisposed to a medical condition & what will trigger it in your individual body..are 2 VERY different things. Just because you had Gestational doesn't mean a child will, or that they will have any other form of diabetes. Just depends on the person's own body & what triggers it.
@@kimberlybargas5920 Thanks. I just don't want other kids to experience what my son went through. All the Drs and nurses told us that the ER is how most parents discover that their child is diabetic. But looking back before I feel like I should have known. Know the signs and get your child checked out before it reaches DKA stage. Videos on that would probably be helpful.
The doctor told me I would be diabetic in 10 years when I had gestational diabetes and it was exactly 10 years whenni got diagnosed so change your diet now bcuz diabetes is the worse.
There's a good chance if you had gestational diabetes, you will become diabetic down the road

Thanks Doc very informative
You're the best, I have been to so many dermatologists and they cannot do anything for me,but after watching your video I understand the problem on my skin. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work for people like us.
Stay tuned for more great videos. Share it with your family and friends as well!
I got skin tags around my neck and found out that I am diabetic type 2. Thank you so much dr. For the information I am already being treated for these conditions and taking medication❤
I learned quite a bit about Diabetes. I’m type 2 diabetic. One of the pictures you showed of blister type, red raised bumps I have on my left lower leg. It is either hot or cold but it stays red. Thank you for letting me know exactly what it is. Very informative video for diabetic neuropathy
QHBPMGAD womens diabetic shoes are professional designed for the diabetic patients. Soft and comfortable !
I have patches on my eyes and small tags on my neck so off to the doctors for me. Thank you, I would not have known if I hadn't seen your video.
I had skin tags and AN for years (20 years), never knew it’s link to high blood sugar and high insulin level. Blood glucose test won’t show the problem for many years, ask for insulin test is much more telling. It can take years for insulin resistant to develop and diabetes to finally be diagnosed. Went on Keto (below 20g of carbs excluding fiber from green leafy veggies) and my AN lighten up a whole lot after just two months, no longer diabetic after three months. Got skin tags removed and they didn’t grow back so far, it’s been four years, no more problem with blood sugar and metabolic syndromes, no medication needed. Wish I knew it years ago. If I start eating bad again, sure the AN get little darker after three weeks of fast food or high carbs, it’s no joke. When I went keto four years ago, my family thought I’m crazy, my doctor said I shouldn’t and she pass my case to a newer doctor because she’s afraid I’m killing myself lol, some friends got detached because I stopped eating out with them and they think I’m eating things that I shouldn’t like eggs, bacon, meat, fatty lard and butter. But I got myself back at last, best decision ever! I got my mom on keto as well :)
That's awesome!
@@SugarMDs Yes! And thank you for spreading the truth. We need more courageous doctors like you!
Very informative. I've had diabetes for 23 years and happy to say I don't have any of these conditions but I will keep this in the back of my mind if I get any of these.
I am newly diagnosed DM type 2. And I am really learning from your videos . Thank u Dr.
Thank you for all of your educational videos. I learn so much about diabetes from you. You answer questions I don't even know to ask. I try to keep my blood sugar under control but it is battle that I have to fight everyday.
Hi, Dr. Thanks for being here. I have outbreaks of those pimples on my bottom. From out of no where they just show up. Also, I have these weird cuts, like paper cuts, that are itchy that show up on different places on my body.
Great video Doc, I have seen similar conditions from candida toxicity. I would like to see your thoughts on that subject.
I developed a knobby knuckle on my small finger many years ago. I thought it was a form of Arthritis. I discovered that it is a sign of Diabetes type 2 while watching you today. Thanks
Once again helpful information that explains the 'why' of what was bothering my skin. Great information, thanks for being so generous with all your knowledge, it really helps those of us struggling with this condition. Thank you.
Thank you Gail!

I’m a type two diabetic and I’ve only had the black ring around my neck when I first got diagnosed and that was when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I take a once a day injection of Victoza and 1000 milligrams of ER Metformin twice a day . My blood sugars have gone from over 300 to normal range and my A1C went down from a 12.2 to a 6.9 in just over 3 months. Sadly I already have diabetic retinopathy in my right eye. Diabetes isn’t something to take lightly like I used to when I was younger.
I'm a diabetic, and I had an issue of pimples at the back of my nape. They have been around for months. They just refuse to completely go away, getting better and getting worse from time to time. A few months ago these pimples developed into a carbuncle where I had fever, chills and general unwellness.and I have to had surgery to surgically remove the infected flesh and all surrounding necrotic tissue. It was a hole bigger than a golf ball. Was hospitalized and spent a few days in a High dependency ward had a few IV lines running around including having antibiotic administered via IV. The post surgery wound took about 3 months + to close up and heal. It will be awesome if you can help explain and elaborate what are carbuncles and how do they form and caused by
Thanks for being so clear and concise.
My wife had 2 for a little while, she has dry scaly skin on her legs and feet for a long time, she also has a lot of skin tags and she was diagnosed with diabetes recently. Diabetes runs in her family and so far she keeps it under control with diet and a shot once a week.
Was not sure what the blisters that was on my leg, now I do. I'm setting up an appointment. with my doctor. Thank for this video.
Thanks Doc. I had pre-diabetes early this year. I came across Dr. Berg's videos. On Intermittent Fasting. Being in the Philippines, Rice is life. We eat it in the morning, lunch and dinner. And, we love softdrinks. I have to rewire my body thru Intermittent fasting. I lost a total of 12Kilos and from 180 of sugar im not at 98. I have long ways to go, and I see most of the symptoms here. Thanks for this video as well.
hindi ba diabetes pag 180? fasting ba yong 180?
My first time watching very informative I've been diagnosed with type 2 and I've learned a few things from your video and appreciate your interest thank you so much
I have learned so much from you - the information has helped me tremendously. Thank you! God bless you always. 😇
I've had several of these issues over the years. I'm pre-diabetic. None of my doctors ever told me it might be from the pre diabetes. No solutions or treatments were ever advised or provided. Some of the photos are identical to skin issues I've had or have. Thank you for this very helpful video!
I’m also pre diabetic, no dr ever advertised or told me . I have itchy rashes on legs .
I have noticed some of these on some of my family members. I didn't have a clue what these areas indicated. We are thankful for all your knowledge and concerns. God bless.
Very much welcome.
Thank you for sharing this information.
I've been concerned about my husband's health, and I am unable to convince him to request tests for insulin resistance or pre-diabetes.
His doctor appears to be eager to prescribe prescriptions for cholesterol and lipids.
He has skin tags in his armpits, and is not inclined to discuss it with his doctor.
Thank you. Very informative. I had the brown skin on my neck. After losing weight and going on medication my type 2 diabetes is in control and my skin clear.
I really enjoy your channel. I still learn new information. 👍❤️
As someone who has suffered from skin issues like eczema and psoriasis since infancy, the dry skin issue was something that flew under my radar as I became insulin resistant. I simply thought that my skin conditions was simply getting worse as I got older (as is very common with eczema etc).
@Sanju Deep Yeah. I'm type II diabetic. It wasn't until after I was diagnosed and started reading up on it that I realised that some of my symptoms that I thought was due to my eczema is also prevalent with diabetes. And if you think about, diabetes causing my skin to be drier would exacerbate my eczema anyway.
See if you can get your docs to test you for it anyway. Remind them that eczema and diabetes are not mutually exclusive - you can have both.
It really irritates me when docs don't investigate properly because they excuse symptoms on another issue. I had an uncle who ended up dying from liver cancer because the docs dismissed his worsening pain in his side as deferred pain from an old horseriding injury (broke his leg near the hip socket). By the time they took him seriously enough to run some tests (after years of him repeatedly asking them about it), it was too late for them to do anything. He died less than 3 months later.
Moral of the story - don't let doctors dismiss you. If you think there's something not right demand that they do their due diligence instead of fobbing it off on another issue and doing nothing. Testing for insulin resistance/diabetes is pretty standard fare anyway. It's not like you're asking them them to do something obscure and difficult and/or costly.
I thought my dry itchy skin was from my liver; (ie. NASH or hepatitis). It went away immediately after I got my blood glucose under control. The very first thing I noticed, within a week or so of lowering my blood glucose, was how soft my skin had become. My forearms and thighs had been like sandpaper, now they feel like satin. I don't even have to use moisturizer. Yay!
@Sanju Deep Get a glucometer and find out. Use it every time you eat.
@Sanju Deep Well, when my A1C was 17, my doc put me on metformin. I cut out all sugar and refined carbs. A few days later I went to the hospital because my BG was so high it didn't register on my meter, over 600. They put me on insulin. I started watching keto videos and drastically changed my diet, limiting carbs to less than 50 gms/day. Within a week I got off insulin, within a month I was off metformin. I learned a lot more, from SugarMD and a couple of other doctor's videos, and 3 months later my A1C was 6. A couple of months after that it was down to 5.6. I think I can get in down below 5 with practice. I watch diabetes videos and ignore the dietician who told me I should take insulin so I could eat the recommended 160 gms of carbs a day. (Now I need to find out if my lipids are high; they skyrocketed when my BG was high, then went back to normal with lower BG and a month of statins. I stopped taking statins, but I am eating more fat than I used to so I need to make sure it's OK.)
You can do it! I was a vegetarian once upon a time, now I eat meat, (no more beans), but also a lot of low-glycemic index vegetables, and some berries and I drink a lot of avocado-kale shakes. I eat hardly any grains, although I do put butter on a couple of whole wheat saltine crackers if I'm hungry after meals. I limit my eating from about noon to 8pm. I'm hardly ever hungry and I don't cheat much. I love sweets, but only erythritol and stevia. My peripheral neuropathy keeps me on track. I do not like da agony of da feet. Hope that helps!
Sorry this was so long. I could go on a lot longer.
@Sanju Deep Get your A1C tested
Thank you Dr Ergin! I know some people I can share this with!
Have a wonderful day!

I had a type of rash similar to #9 but not as severe. The rashes completely went away when I drastically cut gluten out of my diet. Great video, I’ll be on the lookout for these symptoms.
We appreciate your comment. Stay tuned for more great videos!
White foods not good for us 😕
I think I have #9 too! It's so itchy and painful when touch. Mine is on my neck.
I removed all gluten and my doc put me on a no histamine diet which helped the skin issues even more. I know that some skin issues, like skin tags, the darker pigmentation, and growths around the eyes are definitely related to insulin issues. This was interesting. I dropped my carbs and the skin tags and darker patches went away. However, the rushes didn’t go away until I went no histamine.
When I was in high school and college, I had a rash on the crease of my elbows. After years of dealing with it, I briefly had given up gluten and they disappeared. They never came back even when I added gluten back in so I’m not sure if it was a coincidence or if the rash was caused by gluten.
I also have dry skin patches and am not sure if they could be caused by gluten as well or not (or possibly too much added sugar?). It seemed to clear up earlier in the year when I went on a low fodmap diet. And came back when I added gluten and added sugar back in. I recently have started trying to go gluten free again. I have some minor chronic digestive issues and have low iron without anemia (for at least three years now, along with mildly elevated WBC and platelets) as well.
Thank you for providing such an informational video to your followers. I appreciate your kind dedication to people with diabetes.
#8. I experienced this on my elbow. ( my left mostly) But couldn't for the life of me figure out what was happening. Thank you for your timely explaination!
Welcome. Please spread the message. I appreciate you! Check out this video too: th-cam.com/video/QEMMAsfyt3o/w-d-xo.html
Great knowing about these things. I have a yeast infectection around the breast area and it clears up, but weeks later it comes back-guessing that is when the sugar level goes up.
I have a cluster of skin tags on my left thigh that gradually gets a little bigger. Had it checked and was told to do nothing. My glucose numbers are stable. A1C last checked was 9.4. Goal is to get it down between 6.5 and 7.2.
Thanks for your channel.
Ask your doctor to check your insulin response. Bc u can be prediabetic for years and not know it. HIGH inclusion LOWERS sugar to normal level, so sugar levels r not a good indication of anything basically. When sugar is high, it's already too late to reverse anything. Bc u can reverse prediabetic state with Intermitent Fasting and low carb diet (like I did ;D
Good luck 🌸
It's likely related to diabetes. I have pcos and now been diagnosed with diabetes. Getting more skin troubles than ever in the past. Started medication and watching diet
I'm glad you made clear from the beginning that the video was for type 2 diabetics. As a type 1 diabetic, I find it really annoying to waste time learning about type 2 diabetes, when I want to learn about my own condition
Thanks doctor sugar , I was diagnosed into a pre diabetic . My doctor give me the list of food for diabetes not to eat and to eat for two months before giving me the medicine for maintenance . So I wait for 2 months again for blood work after the strictly diet he give me . Again doctor Thanks for sharing this amazing videos. It's a big help .
This is extremely useful information. In my case, I had a very severe irritation on my private part that was not going away, nor did I understand why it was happening. It finally got to the point where I did see my doctor and it was recognized that I may indeed have a diabetic issue due to the chemical shift in my urine (i’m not sure if this can happen to women, but I assume so). The medicine/cream they gave me worked well and my blood test immediately came back and confirmed extremely high sugar levels. In hindsight, I wish I understood the possible symptoms and implications that are mentioned in this very helpful video. If I had known, I could’ve noticed several of these which may have helped me understood what my body was going through earlier, as opposed to finding out the hard way. In any event I am very grateful my doctor recognized it and was able to help me on a path towards managing my diabetes. I share the same sentiment as everybody already commenting, please keep the knowledge transfer and great information coming our way. It really does help!
Awesome information. Thank you
Thank you for the positive feedback. Stay tuned!
@@SugarMDs I love 💘 my endocrinologist (he actually listens) but he's NEVER told me this.
From nursing school I learned about poor wound healing/circulation, prone to infection, and being tired, but not the other Sx.
@@noneofurbusiness5223 thanks for the information!
What cream did they give you? I’ve got a terrible sensitive skin problem around my waistline that nothing seems to be working for.
Excellent video. I've had skin tags for years and no Dr has ever told me it was due to diabetes. One thing that I've had also was thrush in my mouth under my tongue. My dentist noticed it.
My PCP told me to take probiotic min. of 30 billion. It worked. I stopped probiotic in prep for a colonoscopy and never restarted it. Thrush has returned a bit so I'm back on probiotic.
Just had severe oral thrush, I'm type2
Thank you for sharing!
@@barbaraeddy5725 - Eat plain organic low sugar yogurt.
candida?
Thanks, Doc for this great information! I have several of these skin conditions and appreciate they have a name! Have a great day👍
Honesty is refreshing .
At first I wasn’t sure if this podcast was going to be useful all I have to say now is thankyou for putting this out to the public . I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been to doctors about my skin only to be given a cortisone treatment. I know now it is my diet - which I kind of knew but didn’t want it to be so obvious. Now I have to make changes. Thankyou again
Thank you for this great compliment. It pays for all the efforts we put into these videos.
Thank you, this was very informative. Fasting is my go to for issue's of health related problems....
Thank you so much Dr. Ahmed Ergin for all very useful informations God Bless You More
I would LOVE a similar video about the skin manifestations of Cushings Disease/Syndrome (I am pituitary source but regardless of source most symptoms are the same) would be amazing for awareness! 💜
Fellow Cushie here… worst disease ever!!!!
@@Tracyfromelsewhere truly heinous! My diagnosis took 16 YEARS. Sending so much love to you!!!!!!
Thanks Doc! I had blisters and itchy dry skin before but I just ignored it because I thought I'm just allergic with the lotion that I was using until I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2. Now I understand that I got to watch your video.
Glad you are learning something new. Stay tuned for more!
Wow, I have had blisters just above my ankles over & over. Even the ointments the Dermatologist had me use didn't work. My Primary Care provider put me on Rybelsus about 9 months ago & no more blisters. However, they are still healing. I also have been using Cerave' about the same amount of time & it's wonderful. But now I have a cabinet full of lotions that are ineffective for my dry, itchy skin. Thank you for all your videos. I'm a follower for sure.
Thank you for the support, much appreciated.
I have been on Rybelsus. The cost is prohibitive for me. One month runs about $670. The doctor has filled out paperwork for help from the maker. I personally think it’s criminal how they charge for medication
@@wandaglover7984 I have my insurance & LIS (low income subsidy) otherwise it would be prohibitive.
My daughter is td1. She’s gets kinda similar brown spots every spring and summer then they disappear. When she first got the spots it was everywhere but her upper torso. Only a visiting dermatologist specialist was able to treat it. He treated as a rare ring worm(it worked). But due to her original endo retiring and the kiaser closing…we don’t have access to the medical records to see exactly what he diagnosed it as.
I will ask her endo if it’s skin spots.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks doc this was some great information for me. I'm a type 2 diabetic and new to all of this. Thanks once again
Great information! Thankfully, I don't have these conditions! However I think being pro active regarding any type of health issues is a good disposition! Drs ate so busy, and patients of concern really need to know and present factually to the Dr what the concern is, and take care for ourselves! Thank You for going over this with us and sharing this information! I'm sure it is very helpful for many! Stay healthy, Yah Bless All!
You're welcome. Appreciate it. Keep watching our videos and don't forget to share them with your family and friends.
I have had a rash that comes and goes for many years throughout my body. I manage it with apple cider. I drink it (2tbs in a bottle of water) and I apply it topically with a cotton ball (diluted). It takes a couple of days to notice a difference. It really helps stop the itching. Hope this helps. I'm not a Dr.
I think you mean apple cider vinegar.
Yes me too! I get itchy patches and it drives me crazy especially at night when I want to sleep. I went to doctor and also a dermatologist and they didn’t know what this rash is!!! And if I scratch my rash will spread! I’m gonna try the apple cider vinegar like u and see if it works for me!
During a hospital stay for depression I asked that the tiny blisters on my legs be addressed. A dermatoligist took a look. Then the head of dermatology and other doctors. They had no clue, no ideas. I was astonished by their lack of knowledge. So no help.
After 20 years of searching for answers I finally figured it out.
I am grateful for the information you shared. Perhaps you can share with others in your medical field.
Well what was it?
Thank you for sharing this information. My doctor and diabetes teacher never discussed any of these with me.
Great information, however, I do have a question. If you have any of these symptoms while you are diabetic, and you then get your A1C under control, could these symptoms disappear?
My neck area has always been very dark, and I even went to a dermatologist, but the dots were never connected until I was in my 30's. When finally diagnosed I tired diet and exercise but in my late 40's I started putting on weight. So now at 55 I'm taking metformin and it is helping and I'm working my way back to my rightful weight. The content you share on this channel is very informational and I have learned so much. Please keep it coming for its very much needed. I like how realistic you are when explaining things like net carbs and importance of fiber and not being so hard on ourselves. Not all doctors take the time to break things down and explain as you do...blessings.
Thank you for your compliment. Please spread the information for more people to know!
Excellent. Thank you. Clear and precise presentation. Very useful. Also your accent is easy to follow for non native English viewers. Your Slides are prepared with lot of effort. This time you did not scare us with diabetic complications!
Thanks Doctor for the info on diabetic skin. I had it before rashes, itchy and dry skin due to aging. I’m glad after see Doctor and the blood test my sugar level are normal but itchy and dry are due to enzema skin that now I’m treated and well. I have to take care my diet food no more process food but to eat pure food. Home cook the best one and being active by doing my walking everyday. Thank god I’m good at age 55 this year 2022.
Dr. Sugar, very interesting. Thank you yet again for your valuable information. God bless you and your family today and always.
Likewise!
All good information. Learning is a part of life.
Thank you for watching our videos. Hope that you are learning as you watch.
Very informative video especially because you provided the medical names, the pictures, and quite detailed verbal and visual description of each one.

Dr. Ergin thank you very much ,my Wife will want to see this ,i like the way your videos are just full of information that i can use, and the way you have put it all together , your no.1 in my book.
Thanks so much Mick. Please spread the information for more people to know. I am very happy to be helpful.
@@SugarMDs right on!
I have had many skin tags, and have had them removed by my dermatologist. He has never mentioned that this could be related to high blood sugar, so I had no clue! Very recently, my internal medicine doctor has diagnosed me with diabetes. This explains a lot, and I wish I could have been aware of it sooner, while still in a prediabetic state. Perhaps I could have prevented it from progressing! Thanks for pointing these things out.
Thank you for sharing your story. It helps all of us
This made me wonder because I have hypothyroidism and I was told by a dermatologist that I have dermatitis keratosis. She also said, if anything changes can be related to colon cancer which I’ve already been cleared and have healthy colon. But I really what’s up with keratosis. Hmm 🤔
Type 2 diabetes is completely reversible
I figured it out for myself but reading patients' posts on the People's Pharmacy (free) in an email. We cannot depend on our doctors. unfortunately. I have gone through about 6 endocrinologists over the years. I was seeing the endocrinologists because of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. You can always reverse this when you change your diet. Don't look to your docs for diet advice. See Dr. Ken Berry on TH-cam. Also, follow Dr. Richard Bernstein on TH-cam or read his book.
@@marciabainter2163 Yes it is! It takes a lot of dedication to changing diet and exercise. I know because I did it!
Very informative video.I had skin tags n neck / leg discoloration and they disappear when I went on low carb diet and cut down my sugar intake .
I'm diabetic, going into third year diagnosis, since diagnosed medicine has relieved alot of pain, my symptoms was headache n bathroom use every half an hour , extreme thirst .. so glad I figured it out. I worry cuz I get bruises, sores take a bit to heal now
You are the best and really take time to help all...
Thank you Sue! Appreciate the positive feedback.
Thank you Dr. Ergin very informative ♥️👏👏
Thank you for watching our videos. Hope that you are learning as you watch.
Thank you for all the good info Doctor!
Good day dr i'm diabetic for almost 13 yrs ...i got some skin problems shown in your video ...thanking for sharing ...
I’ve been experiencing several of these. Unfortunately most of the drs I’ve seen in the last 4 yrs have told me I’m not diabetic. I was diagnosed 20 yrs ago up till a week ago I was not on any meds. Now I’m on insulin at night. I have fought so hard and fired dr after dr that told me I wasn’t diabetic. Now I all my efforts are null because there wasn’t a record of my diabetes, why? Because they don’t keep records after 7 yrs. I’ve said all along I am diabetic so now I have to take insulin because no one would listen. I thank God I finally got to see the one person that is still alive that knew I had diabetes. She is taking care of me . Finally after all these yrs .
Thanks for sharing!
you don't need a doctor to cut down on your sugar and carb intake.
@@Trid2bnrml1 once again unsolicited comment based on your little knowledge of my case.
Extreme lows no meds type 2 ct scan Thursday woo hoo we’re gonna find that little bugger that’s been making trouble!
I never picked up the insulin I just didn’t feel that was the problem. It wasn’t.
I'm so happy I found this channel. It boggles my mind that doctors don't connect skin conditions with other things. All the sudden I started getting psoriasis on my scalp, buttcrack and my knee. I keep asking if it's something to do with my diet, nobody wants to test skin sample or do blood work it is so bizarre. My nephew has also been diagnosed with eczema and something to do with his hands are really dry with lots of creases all they do is give some type of steroid cream and nothing works. Watching this video I am in complete shock I feel that my nephew 100% has diabetes or prediabetes. He has the brown velvety skin, dry itchy skin, raised little bumps and patches which is one of my biggest fears getting diabetes it runs in my family and nobody is on a controlled diet I don't even know where to begin to stop drinking pop would be the first thing other than that I don't know how to go about changing our diet any suggestions?

Thanks for your time 🙏
I’m a 70 yo, uncontrolled, female, type II diabetic that has adrenal insufficiency. Diagnosed with both about three years ago, (AFib, CAD, more) If I weren’t a retired RN, I’d need much more assistance due to my diseases and meds fighting one another. I’m glad I ran across you today. I’ve ahead skin sensitivities and allergies, so I’m aware of reactions plus my family history is full of diabetes. These last 5 yrs rashes have taken me to the ER! Infectious disease investigators were called. You’ve helped me 🆔 5-7 of them today of what were present at the same time. 🤦♀️. Thank YOU!😊
@numberone5680 You're welcome! And thank you for sharing, I'm hoping for your health improvement!
Doc, very informative and clear to understand. You are a Doc, a dietitian, a counselor, and a mind reader. When do you have the time to practice and spend time with the family? God bless you.
It is all time management. Trying to keep wasted time to practically zero. Thank you for your compliment. Appreciated. That keeps me going.
He has a calling as a disciple of healthcare; I bet his family will understand and support him
Good infor Dr. I have been a diabetic for most of life and I can't empathize enough about proper hygiene. Washing, showering is so important when your diabetic, I've been fortunate with skin issues, but I do have Gastroparesis. I've have ingrown toenails that have been infected several times, very painful. These types of videos are informative & Important. Glad to have found your channel.

Very interesting! I was diagnosed with insulin resistance a few months ago, I had consistently gained weight over several years after finishing menopause. Also increasing skin tags and yeast infections on my skin. Been seeing a dietitian and weight loss physician, on a strict anti-inflammatory and moderate carb diet. Also been taking Saxenda which is the same as victoza for type 2 diabetes. Saxenda is for weight loss. I am not diabetic now, but at one point I was pre-diabetic. I have lost over 20 lb in less than 3 months so far. My husband is a type 2 diabetic, and since he's been following long with me on eating better, his A1C has gone from almost 8 to 5.5 in just a few months. He also started experiencing a really bad rash on his face that seems to have improved along with the lower A1C.
Thanks for sharing!
@@SugarMDs You're welcome!
Thank you sharing
Ketavore and IF diet has helped me to reverse my prediabetic state, I'm so glad that others are able to find health info at the right time too. Go girl!
just out of curiousity, what does your doctor consider a ''moderate carb diet''? how many g?
When showing these medical diagnosis it’s wise to also show the photo examples on POC as well…. Rashes, cuts etc looks different on different skin tones. Let’s see all examples!
Great suggestion!
Yes please!!!
Yes! I have Type 2 Diabetes and have these black moles/skin tags all over my neck. I'd be happy to provide a pic!
Thank you for all the information 🙏🏼. I am Type 2 diabetes
Thanks Doc, God bless you 🙏
@10:40 I had what I thought was ringworm on my upper left arm and treated it as such for 18 months before I saw my GP and she diagnosed Granuloma Annulare. This was 3 years before my T1 diagnosis. I have read there is a connection however tenuous, between diabetes and GA.
My son, at the time was 2 years old, when he began getting granuloma annulare. 1 spot went to around 60 within about a month. His pediatrician recognized it as GA & told me the only kids she had with it had juvenile diabetes. She immediately had me start checking his glucose...sure enough, his levels were high.
@@ericash27 wow! I pray he is OK and controls it! Juvenile diabetes is a bummer 😕
Great tips Dr Ergen. I have been bothered by 9 out 12 of the listed skin conditions. I have to interpret the examples for my skin type because I am Afro American with a medium brown complexion. I have been looking for an endocrinologist in the Baltimore area, but have not been able to find one. Also, I would like to get off Metformin. I think you had a video on that a while back, I’ll have to go back and look for your advice on a substitute.
I showed the light brown spots newly appearing on my shins, around ankles, and top of feet, but my doctor had no idea what it was. 🙄 Blood panel returned with 5.9 A1C. Bam! Needless to say, I’m on keto/carnivore diet to drop weight and improve my metabolic health. Goal is 5.2 A1C. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
