I have bouts of very itchy skin - all over - and wondered if this was due to Diabetes 2 or the medication. Does anyone know?
 
Hello watsonm5 .

The itchy skin can sometimes be related to high blood sugars .
What medication are you taking ?
Any eczema skin condition ?

Lowered glucose blood sugars - the itchyness subsides usually ...

Areas like back of neck,scalp,groin,inside of arms,back of the knees, small of the back
are the usual 'itchy' zones .
Areas where its 'warm' and heated ...

Hope this can help .

Anna.
 
Some of the meds can cause itching during the first few weeks but it usually wears off. It can vary form person to person and what meds you are on.
