Why Skin is Vulnerable in Diabetes? High blood sugar damages sweat glands, nerves & circulation Weakens skin barrier → bacteria & fungi easily attack Dryness & slow healing raise risk of infections Fact: 33% of diabetics face skin problems in lifetime (ADA data)

☀️ Sunburn – can spike blood sugar 🍄 Fungal infections – thrive in moist folds (toes, groin, underarms) 🧴 Dry & itchy skin – sweat + dehydration worsen dryness 🩹 Slow wound healing – cuts & blisters risk infection 🔥 Heat rash – sweat trapped under skin → irritation Common Summer Skin Issues in Diabetes

Skin Care Tips for Summer Stay hydrated (8–10 glasses water/day) ✅ Use fragrance-free moisturizer (avoid between toes) ✅ Daily sunscreen SPF 30+ (reapply outdoors) ✅ Keep skin folds dry & wear breathable clothes ✅ Inspect feet daily & never walk barefoot ✅ Store insulin/test strips in cool place (Call to action) Facing summer skin problems?
