Problem of blisters on the skin
The problem of skin blisters is quite common in people with diabetes, in which blisters start appearing on fingers, toes, hands, and feet. Usually, these blisters are white. Blisters may look scary, but they usually don't cause pain and heal on their own in about two to three weeks. These blisters may be a sign that you have diabetes or that your blood sugar levels are not controlled. It is considered necessary to pay serious attention to this problem.

Digital sclerosis
People with diabetes are also more likely to develop digital sclerosis, in which the skin becomes thicker than normal. These problems can occur in people suffering from both type-1 and type-2 diabetes. The skin on the backs of the hands or the fingers or toes may become thick and waxy. If your blood sugar level is not controlled then the risk of developing this disease is higher.

Necrobiosis lipoidica
Necrobiosis means dead cells. Small, raised, red spots on your skin gradually become larger and brighter and sometimes turn yellow. In this, the skin can become thin and cracked, which can lead to wounds, which have also been seen to be at risk of ulcers. Although such cases are quite rare, only one in 300 people suffering from diabetes gets this disease. Diabetic patients are advised to take special care of skin problems.
