Dark and Diabetes!!
im a black woman with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. i started on novolog and regular insulin about 3 month ago. since then, i've noticed that my skin, especially my face has gotten much darker. i've tried otc lightening products, AHA, mama lotion, even retin A. nothing has worked. im so frustrated and stressed out. Stress is very bad for anyone, especially diabetics. please help!!!! What do celebrities do to get so light?
Answer:
Hello, diabetes does not have room for skin peeling which is part of the skin lightening process. Healing can be a problem. We don't recommend skin whitening products for diabetic patients. I'm sorry.
