This is very informative and useful to people with sensitive skin. I just envy people endowed with a skin that is unscathed.

Doctors should be testing the INSULIN levels NOT sugar - this is totally different from a glucose test.

Acanthosis Nigricans is a primarily a hormone issue, but strongly implicit in Diabetes and Obesity....if losing the weight hasnt helped and if your blood sugar is normal I suggest you check out hormones ;D I came off the contraceptive pill and its just recently starting to clear itself up for me...
