8 Commonly Missed Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Discoloured Skin

Velvety patches of skin may develop as the body starts to develop a resistance to insulin. Common areas of skin problems that develop due to type 2 diabetes include places of the body where there are creases and folds, such as the knees, armpits, and groin. Discoloured skin may also occur when new skin cells develop before old skin cells have been shed. Consult a dermatologist if skin problems occur to determine if the cause is due to type 2 diabetes.
