My Only Symptom With My Diabettes, Is Itching

A personal story in the experience: I Have Diabetes
 As recently as a couple of weeks before Christmas, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, after two blood tests.  I have been put on pills, and for the first week I had to take one pill a day and now after completing the first week, I am taking two pills a day.

 

I have no other symptom apart from body itching.  I have been itching for over a month now and that is why I called the doctor just before Christmas, and I was asked to take the blood tests.

 

The itching is now much worse; I don’t think that there is a single part of my body that does not itch day and night; it is a nightmare.  My skin is very rough and my body is in a terrible state.

 

I cannot help wondering if the itching has anything to do with Diabetes or something else.  My doctor says that Diabetes can cause itching.  But strangely enough, after two blood tests, they found nothing else but the Diabetes.

 

Has anyone experienced itching with Diabetes?  I am at a loss to know what to do.

 

Thank you

 

France Chorley

Thanks

I'm a little late in this conversation, since oyu posted several moths ago, but I can tell you that I, too, itch all over. It only started about 3 weeks ago & my sugar is pretty well controlled. I was diagnosed about a year ago. My A1C then was 11.3, now it is 5.8. The doc didn't seem too concerned about my itching, but I can tell you it is driving me insane!!! So, I hope after several months you are doing better now...

Hi, I just saw this group today but wanted to reply to you. For a long time before I found out I was a diabetic I itched and scratched until my skin bled. Even now when my blood sugar level is off I start to itch. It took a while but the itching did go away.. Also my feet were very sore and cracked and bleeding. There are so many different sides to being a diabetic. Always be on your toes and you will learn quickly to recognize any changes that are related to your diabetes.

I have type one, and whenever my blood sugar's too high, the bottoms of my feet itch. So maybe it's just that you needmore pills? Because mine means that you need more insulin? I don't know, just a thought. :)

you can take canadian glucotrol for diabetes. glucotrol is a prescription drug that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. glucotrol is part of a group of diabetes drugs called sulfonylureas. generic glucotrol helps the pancreas make more insulin. It also helps the cells respond better to insulin. you can get more information about low price mexican glucotrol and buy cheapest glucotrol online from http://squaremeds.com/articles/buy-cheapest-mexican-glucotrol-for-treatment-type-2-diabetes.html
