Type I And Acne?
Posted: 09-14-04 23:14pm

Does anyone know if acne can be triggered by sugar levels? My neck has started breaking out really bad-i've tried acne things(clearasil, etc) but nothing works. I'm only 1 year into this diabetes thing-can type I diabetes cause acne? It's not on my face and I don't touch my neck a lot or anything!! Confused Anyone experience this? I'm 17.

Hey Fellow Type 1 Diabetic
Posted: 04-29-05 20:38pm

Hi I was diagnosed with diabetes almost two years ago I am now 23 yrs old. I have also been having weird acne along my jawline and neck. I am researching and asking everyone I know for the answers but I do think that having type 1 is associated with acne. I am with you in the struggle...

Well there might be something in the acne thing, I always had acne when I was younger and when I was diagnosed, but it was generally on my forehead and side of my face, now that seems to have cleared up and as one of you said I only get it on my next shoulders and around my jaw line, odd isn't it but there could be something

Recent Break Out
Posted: 06-24-05 21:46pm

Hello...

I've been noticing acne along my jawline, a few on my neck, shoulders and back...I decided to research the cause of this recent break out...It started a few months ago when I began canoe paddling, so I figured exposure to the sun or the wharf water had something to do with it...Now i'm thinking type 1 diabetes may be the culprit :? Diabetes does run on both sides of my family...I hope this is not the case and that my recent break out is just a hormonal thing...

Acne In Type 1 Diabetics
Posted: 06-24-05 22:05pm

I'm a 19 year old type 1 diabetic. I have the same problem. My Dr. Once told me people w/ diabetes will have more acne than someone w/o diabetes.

Diabetes And Acne
Posted: 08-31-05 18:13pm

I have been diabetic for several years now, insulin dependent since 11/04. My blood sugar levels were relatively normal until 9/04, two months before I started taking insulin. At the same time my neck started breaking out with a strange appearing acne. By strange I mean it did not look like the typical acne and will not go away. I haven't asked my doctor and will be seeing a dermotologist about it but I can almost guarantee it is diabetes related. I say this because diabetics have a lowered immune system in comparison to non-diabetics and are more prone to infection. Therefore, we would be more prone to acne as acne is caused by infection of the poors in your skin. Sounds logical anyway.

I have a problem with break outs on my neck and chest and even on my stomach.The ones on my chest don't even look like acne they are little whit bumps under the skin.Ive tried to get rid of them but wont go away,anyways my doctor told me the acne is caused from the hormone inbalace caused by diabetes where your sugars are up and down all the time.

I'm 33 and been diabetic since i was 9. I had little acne as a teen. Lately(past cple yrs) I have developed these white bumps. They were primarily on my back, but recently have moved to my chest, neck and especially my head(extremely itchy,annoying, and of course probably scabbing, which could be a major bummer considering diabetes is also causing me to lose some hair up there...) I use doxycycline and a topical solution(clyndimiacin for my head) but continue to suffer. Yes, I believe all relating to my BS highs and lows, which have steadily increased as I age. Anyway, it is good to see there is a corrilation with my conditions on here and wish I was able to control my sugars better, to stop this.
