No idea. Sometimes high blood sugar levels can cause itchiness, but it could be anything. Do you test your levels when it happens?

I was being driven mad with itching when I was taking Metformin and a statin - for me it was my arms and across my shoulders, and down the outside of my thighs, but it made me very ill.
