Itching
Itching is a common sign of diabetes and is typically caused by dry skin, inadequate blood circulation, or particular infections. It can also be aggravating enough to cause disruptions in your daily routine. However, there are treatments for diabetes-related itching, such as using moisturizers on a daily basis, topical steroids, and regular exercise to help increase blood circulation.

The risk and degree of pruritus in diabetes are closely related to the extent and duration of unmanaged high blood sugar.
