deecoulsongrl - Technically you are right that the usual "warts" are caused by a virus, BUT there are sometimes diabetes-associated skin lesions which is what your friend may have. It is a condition called Necrobiosis, a rare skin disorder associated with diabetes. It can appear before the diagnosis of diabetes, but it usually occurs several years after.
The disorder causes small, raised, oval, dark red or brownish-yellow lesions with a thick shiny surface and sharply defined edges. They can be itchy and painful. If the spots break open, they require medical attention.
To date, treatment has proved fairly ineffective. In some cases, necrobiosis recedes without treatment. Although its development does not hinge on how well blood sugar levels are controlled, experts warn that high blood sugar may lead to secondary infections in the lesions.
The American Diabetes Association advises patients to minimize their risk of skin-related diabetes complications by following these guidelines:
Keep skin clean and dry.
Apply talcum powder to parts of the body where moisture is likely to develop.
Avoid bathing or showering in extremely hot water.
Prevent dry skin by using moisturizers and running a humidifier in your home during cold, dry months.
Treat cuts immediately, avoiding use of harsh agents such as alcohol or iodine.
See a dermatologist for unresolved skin problems.
