Same here. At times during the day I have a pricking persistent itchiness either on my upper arms or my legs. It is hard to ignore, but after a while it settles until it appears again some time later. Can't associate it with anything.

I got terrible itching all around my body and upper arms and down the side of my legs when taking Metformin and a statin. It went away within days of stopping the tablets but I had to keep my nails really short for weeks or I would find weals when I woke up.

Thanks for your replies I think I'm going to have to mention it to the doctor I take 1000 metformin a day but have been on them a long time fingers crossed they can help

I get severe burning itch in my upper arms occasionally. It's in my bones, like fire sometimes!
I was prescribed antihistamines, but sometimes that is not enough!
Putting ice on the affected area does work (sometimes!)

That sounds the same as me honestly the strange things that come with this diabetes

Not diabetic, but it is asymptomatic with blood glucose levels!
