Diabetes, a common and complex chronic disease, has long been an important topic in global health. Its impact on the human body goes far beyond abnormal increases in blood sugar levels. It may also have profound effects on various organs of the body. In addition to our common symptoms of diabetes, such as frequent urination, abnormal thirst, etc., British physician Dr. James Donovan recently revealed a less-known symptom on the social media platform TikTok:diabetic dermopathy。

According to Dr. Donovan, diabetic skin lesions appear as small dots on the legs. These spots are usually light brown, but may sometimes be pink or reddish-brown. They look like bruises and feel dimpled to the touch. It’s important to note that these spots usually don’t cause itching, oozing, or pain.
Experts at the Cleveland Clinic also believe that the diameter of these spots is generally between 1 and 2.5 centimeters. These skin changes are caused by damage to the capillaries leading to poor blood circulation in the localized skin and usually appear on the calves, but can occur elsewhere.
Importantly, while these skin changes themselves do not pose a direct health threat, they do serve as a warning sign of the progression of diabetes. This means that blood sugar levels may not be effectively controlled and further medical testing and blood sugar management may be necessary. Early recognition of these symptoms and appropriate treatment are critical to preventing the development of diabetes complications.

Dr. Donald’s reminder not only alerts diabetic patients, but also raises public health awareness. Diabetes is not just about blood sugar management, it involves overall health management and lifestyle adjustments. A correct diet, moderate exercise, a regular lifestyle, and timely medical examinations are all keys to preventing and managing diabetes. In the face of this widespread disease, we need to pay more attention to various signals from the body and respond promptly to maintain optimal health.
