Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a rare autoimmunobullous disease which is seen more in the elderly. There are many factors that have been associated with BP including medications, vaccines, and different diseases including diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is known to enhance the production of autoantibodies by glycosylation of dermal proteins and increase skin fragility. This case report looks at the management of BP with consideration for glycaemic control; the accurate interpretation of the values in the older adult and emphasis on the need for multidisciplinary approach while also taking note of medication side effects.
