Hello everyone with diabetic symptoms,
Since I was dx'd as diabetic and/or put on medication, my hands and upper arms's skin tone changed-- rather loose and wrinkled. Before being diagnosed, i may have had diabetes for a some time, because I had edema in the face, ankles, the hands, the whole body was very plump. Also, i voided all the time, and had great thirst, which was attributed to another med.
I'm wondering if this change in skin turgor[?] is due to getting better (no more thirst and frequent voiding) with the meds, or a side effect of the meds. Anyone have a symptom like this? BTW, one nurse said it was dehydration, but i find it odd that it is just on my hands and upper arms.
Thank you for reading this.:blabla:
