Could Dark Ring Around Both Ankles Be Sign Of Diabetes?
I recently noticed a dark ring around both my ankles and was wondering if this might be a sign of diabetes? I do have other risk factors such as excess weight around stomach and being overweight, high blood pressure. My cholesterol has always been fine.

Dear sir/madam i can understand your concern
in my opinion there is no relationship between your dark ring around ankles and diabetes.This might be a skin related condition and i suggest to meet a dermatologist
regarding your over weight and high blood pressure,Yes they are risk factors for diabetes.
i suggest you to do exercise daily because by doing exercise you can prevent diabetes by 50% and follow healthy diet.
if your parents are diabetic you will have 60% of getting diabetes
