In this study, skin tags (acrochordons) were the most common manifestations reported in 17.7% of the patients whereas other studies reported 3.7%,12 32%,10 and 40.9%.13 High insulin levels stimulate keratinocyte proliferation, resulting in the growth of these lesions, and acrochordons may be a cutaneous marker for impaired carbohydrate metabolism.14 Xerosis was second most common disorder associated with diabetes seen in 13.7% in our study.
