What Are The Early Signs Of Diabetes?
I am a male, 23years old, 6ft, 300lbs and very strong. I have these big round patches on both of my shins and right forearm that have a red circular pattern like ringworm, but i went to the doctor and they didn't detect any fungus after scraping some skin off and searching for it. Can this possible be a sign of diabetes? I also have topic dermatitis and my skin is super dry. I have a history of eczema and other skin rashes.

Hello,
Red circular rash doesn't denote any diabetes.
The usual symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst,increased urination and fatigue inspite of increased appetite.
The best way to rule out diabetes is to get blood sugar fasting and PP done along with HBA1c.
Thanks
