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!!
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...
Mercy

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.
