I do not have diabetes
I twice had a nasty all over rash last year with an itch that drove me potty. Each time it lasted around a week. It was suggested to me it could have been a diabetic rash but my GP played it down as he had never heard of a diabetic rash. I was prediabetic at the time, now I'm type 2. I have rash scars & skin discolouration to my feet, this evening I have reappearance of the rash. Is this common?

Have had something similar. We can’t diagnose here. I suggest you request a referral to a dermatologist. Mine was sorted by dermatology. It was not diabetes related

Keep the photos in case the rash is gone by the time you see someone

I wouldn’t think it’s diabetic related…. Could be alsorts from an allergy to something new you have come in contact with to heat rash

See gp ask for referral if you have patient access then some services you can self refer
