At least 1 in 4 patients with skin infections shows high blood sugar level, finds study.
Thirty-seven-year-old banker Rohit Rane (name changed) visited a dermatologist two months ago to consult for his skin infection. The doctor told him that it was florid Candidiasis and advised him to check his blood sugar. But he was shocked when he found that his glucose level was 265 mg/ dL, double than the normal level.
Rane is not alone. A study conducted by a city dermatologist has revealed that more than 25% of patients visiting for skin ailments showed high blood sugar levels. The study conducted on 360 male and 60 female patients showed 85 males and 40 female detected for the first time to have high blood sugar level. The study was conducted between April 2012 and July 2013.
