Psoriasis and Diabetes

There is a complex interplay between psoriasis, a chronic immune-mediated skin condition, and its association with various co-occurring health concerns on a global scale. Psoriasis, which extends beyond just visible scaly red patches, reveals complex ties with conditions such as atherogenesis, insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus. Psoriasis and diabetes have a significant correlation supported by epidemiological evidence. This chapter delves into the distinctive features of psoriasis and meticulously explores the intricate relationship it shares with diabetes. Uncovering potential connections and shared mechanisms, this exploration not only enriches our understanding of these conditions but also opens avenues for redefining diagnostic and treatment approaches to address both psoriasis and diabetes concurrently.
