[QUOTE="johnboy412000, post: 652591, member: 120794"] Ive been suffering from Itchy skin for the last 4 to 5 weeks now and ive tried Eurax which i had recommended but hasnt worked.I also tried E-45 with no results either.Ive been diabetic since Mid August and my itching started about Early September.For a start i put it down to detergent as one of my wifes carers took some washing home with her.I remembered that my mother once used Ariel and it brought me out in a rash which i termed as an Allergy.I asked the carer what she used and it wasnt Ariel so thats ruled out.Reading other posts it looks likely to be connected to Diabetes.Ive also been using Sudocrem.My wife gets itchiness too and the carers cream her all over with Aqueous cream,Sudocrem and Cavalon and Savalon.The sudocrem seems to help her hand itchiness.I might try the Aqueous cream and see how i go on.Im seeing my GP on 27th October about my recent raised blood pressure so if i can limp on till then ill also mention the itchiness and see what he can prescribe.Some times its not too bad but some times i get a bad bout of itchiness for a little while.Ive had genital itchiness for a number of years and usually apply Sudocrem to my groins regularly and it seems to work there.The joys of being diabetic eh.At the moment im not on any meds or insulin im able to manage on diet control and my BS levels although i dont test all the time i sometimes use my wifes monitor and the readings are usually around 6 or odd times up to 7.
