[QUOTE="katmcd, post: 1454076, member: 380020"] One of the symptoms I had before I was diagnosed was itching. All the time. There was no obvious fungal infection (not a classic thrush) but as soon as my BG was in normal range it was gone and only returned once when I miscalculated my carbs and ran high overnight. And when I say it was gone when I was controlled, within hours it was gone once I'd started on insulin. That quick. Lidocaine ointment helped (although it masked why I was itchy) but it may offer you some relief. It's likely the higher BG will cause the itching. As the sugar changes the natural microflora and pH compared to what is normal. Keeping BG down will probably help the most in avoiding it in future. [/QUOTE]
