Background: Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most common is type 2 diabetes, usually in adults, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't make enough insulin. About 1 in 11 adults worldwide now have diabetes mellitus (DM), 90% of whom have type 2 DM (T2DM). One of the most common manifestations of diabetes are skin complications, such as dryness of the skin, bacterial and fungal infections. Objectives were to study the frequency and pattern of skin disorders in patients with T2DM at Khartoum dermatology and venereology teaching hospital (KDVTH) in Khartoum, Sudan during August 2016 to December 2016. Methods: This was prospective, observation descriptive, cross-sectional hospital-based study used a quantities method. A total convenient sample technique enrolled 100 points during the study period. Results: One hundred diabetic patients (64% male and 36% female) were included in the study. The age group varies between (25 and >70 years), the commonest cutaneous manifestations were xerosis which was found in 45 patients (45%), fungal infection found in 36 patients (36%). Serum HbA1c level was done for each case Conclusions: The study concluded that the most prevalent cutaneous diseases among patients were xerosis fungal infection, eczema, bacterial infections, and scabies respectively. A significant relationship between duration of DM and level of HB A1C and the presence of cutaneous manifestations was observed.
