Check the source. It has a few.\n\nAlso, try a Google image search for "diabetes skin." I found a lot of pictures that way. Maybe your search terms were too complicated.

From Type I diabetes there really isn't anything you can do.\n\nFor Type II ... avoid becoming obese.  You need to stay active and healthy.  If you have a family history of Type II diabetes you need to be very careful about keeping your weight within a healthy range, avoid drinking alcohol in excess, and stay active.

Do you mean diabetic medical information?  \n\nIf so, there are millions of books at the library.  the internet is full of info to but be sure to know who is backing the site.  A lot of pharmaceutical companies have there hand in what information you are reading.  TALK to a doctor about whatever information you learn.

If you are in the US talk to your doc or call Joslin Clinic in Boston, MA. They can connect you with Joslin's Angel Network. I read about it in a Diabetes Digest. It said they help uninsured people with getting supplies. Good luck!

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. \n\nUsually occurs gradually. Most people with type 2 diabetes are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, the disease can also develop in lean people, especially the elderly.\n\nGenetics play a large role in type 2 diabetes and family history is a risk factor. However, low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight (especially around the waist) significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.\n\nOther risk factors include:\n\n- Race/ethnicity (African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans all have high rates of diabetes) \n- Age greater than 45 years \n- Previously identified impaired glucose tolerance by your doctor \n- High blood pressure \n- HDL cholesterol of less than 35 or triglyceride level of greater than 250 \n- History of gestational diabetes

Check with some of your local drug stores-many offer days of free testing on cholesterol, sugar and lipids.  Here's the other important pieces of info.:\n\nDiabetes:\nWarning Signs\n\nBecause diabetes can cause serious complications, it's important to be on the lookout for signs that you may have diabetes. The symptoms of type 1 diabetes may include: \n\nIncreased thirst.\nIncreased hunger (especially after eating).\nDry mouth.\nFrequent urination.\nUnexplained weight loss (even though you are eating and feel hungry).\nFatigue (weak, tired feeling.\nBlurred vision.\nHeadaches.\nLoss of consciousness (rare).\nType 2 diabetes is usually not diagnosed until complications have occurred. Most often, there are no symptoms or a very gradual development of the above symptoms. In fact, about a third of all people who have type 2 diabetes don't know they have it. When hyperglycemia occurs, the symptoms can be the same as those listed above.\n\nOther symptoms of type 2 diabetes may include: \n\nSlow-healing sores or cuts. \nItching of the skin (usually around the vaginal or groin area).\nFrequent yeast infections.\nRecent weight gain.\nVelvety dark skin changes of the neck, armpit and groin, called acanthosis nigricans.\nNumbness and tingling of the hands and feet.\nDecreased vision.\nImpotency.\nIf you have any of these symptoms, contact your health care provider right away so you can get tested or screened. Even people with pre-diabetes can have the increased risk from heart disease seen in people with diabetes.
