Abstract:
This study of 64 133 patients, the largest on written record, is a further step towards describing the phenotype of people with necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum. There is conflicting evidence in the literature concerning the role of hyperglycaemia in the development of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum. In our analysis, higher HbA 1c and longer diabetes duration correlated with necrobiosis lipoidica. For the first time, we show that necrobiosis lipoidica in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus correlates with a higher daily insulin requirement and with coeliac disease. Necrobiosis lipoidica does not correlate with the application of insulin analogues or with BMI.
