Could just being diabetics cause skin to itch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetes: Diabetes can increase your risk for a yeast skin infection. That is definitely itchy. What type of diabetes do you have? How long have you had the diabetes? Do you itch all over or is it just a small area of your skin?

A member asked:
I have been having extremely itchy skin. Starts on hands and feet. Sometimes on the rest of my body. There are no marks to show any signs of rash. That is until I claw myself to death. Wondered if it may be a sign of diabetes. Never had this before. Lotion does not help. I have not changed any kind of soap or shampoo or detergent. I can take a Benadryl and it will stop. Itching?
