It is one of the signs of insulin resistance. Therefore it can predispose to prediabetes and diabetes. The pigmentation can get better with improvement in weight and insulin resistance. Would recommend testing for prediabetes / diabetes
Next Steps
Obtain HbA1C , fasting glucose, and insulin levels and consult online with results
