skin exam in T2DM
T2DM:
-acanthosis nigricans
-eruptive xanthomas
-central adiposity/weight gain
-diabetic dermopathy
- skin tags (?)
feet findings in T2DM (part of skin exam)
-ulcers
- pre-ulcerative callus/ corn
opthalamoscopic exam in diabetes
Diabetic Retinopathy:
-Microaneurysms: small swellings attached to vessels
-Flame hemorrhages
-Hard exudates
-neovascularization
-glaucoma
-AV nicking
-proliferative diabetic retinopathy
peripheral pulses (post tibial and dorsals pedis) in diabetes
Diminished (grade 0 or 1) due to peripheral artery disease (atherosclerosis) or diabetic neuropathy (poor circulation due to n. damage that control vessel constriction/ dilation)
-PAD presence in over 50% of pts
sensory exam (Ipswich touch test, soft touch, vibration, pain) findings in diabetes
128 Hz tuning fork (vibration) test: absence of vibratory perception
Ipswich touch test: absence of light touch on 2 or more sites (out of 6) is + for diabetic neuropathy
shoulder inspection findings
- Inspect the anterior + lateral aspects of the shoulder
- note: scares, bruising, swelling, abnormal bony prominence, deltoid wasting - Inspect scapulae + related muscles
- note: scars, muscle symmetry, scoliosis, winged scapula
-erythema, swelling, gross deformities, bruising/trauma, scars, asymmetry
Normal: well perfused consistent skin colour, all bony landmarks visible, no swelling, shoulder intact bilaterally with no gross deformities, bruising, no indications of lesions, scars or surgeries
