Is this a T2 symptom?

[cantfindasuitablenamehere]

I have had itching in my lower legs for the last couple of years, long before my T2 diagnosis. Never pinned down the cause and just kinda got used to it, applying various creams to no effect and avoiding wearing long pants.

Since going low carb this has completely cleared up - no itching whatsoever.

Could there be a connection? I'd be interested in whether others have had anything like this.

Many thanks

i have had similar symptoms (and a similar result after three months of low carb) and would be interested in any further insights anyone might have
