What kind of skin problems are you having (sores, rash?). When people have reactions to medications, skin rashes usually occur on the torso, arms, and legs. I think it is most likely a coincidence. If the skin problem does not resolve within a few days, you should contact your doctor.
You should have you feet looked at by your doctor. It may be early signs of vascular disease in your feet. Your diabetes is much more likely to give skin problems on your feet than the change in insulin.
