itching

[basketcase1002]

Hi, I've only just been diagnosed and I fancied a bit of chocolate before bed tonight but had 3 chunks instead of the usual 1. After a couple of hours sleep I woke up itching all over like a demented pig, I also had a pain in the pit of my stomach. I am assuming all this is down to the chocolate. What can anyone tell me and what causes the itching? Thanks.

Even though you are newly diagnosed I was wondering if you are on any medication as this could be a side effect. Itching after eating food could also be a sign of an allergic reaction. How have you been since? Also do you regularly eat this brand of chocolate?

From what I've ready high glucose does cause this side effect. Certainly noticed it myself but a lot better now that my GI is lower.
