Hyperinsulinemia often accompanies type II diabetes and can be misdiagnosed as diabetes or hyperglycemia. Though it can appear along with diabetes, hyperinsulinemia is a separate health issue that develops when there is an excessive amount of insulin relative to glucose in the bloodstream. People who do not have diabetes can also develop the condition. Skin tags are symptomatic of both diabetes and hyperinsulinemia. Skin quality is partially dependent on the regulation of sugar in the blood, and skin tags may develop and persist even after treatment.
