i was diagnosed type 2 in late september 09 but all during the summer i had all the symtoms but i also suffered with another problem but i dont know whether it is part of the diabetes or not could anybody help.
what it is is i start itching on my arms and back and then i come out in a rash all over and the itch gets so bad that i am scratching so bad that i bleed, this also happened last year and my gp said it was a summer type problem and gave me antihistamines and cream, which do help but this week (winter) the problem has started again but with the doctors being closed i could only get some piriton over the counter and ended up taking 4 a day cos they dont work so well, my arms and back come up in a rash then blisters and its really itchy. can anybody help, is it associated to diabetes, if so what can i do about it, if not does anyone have an idea what it is and what i can do?
will read all replies and would be truly grateful for any help
