Question:

From Queensland, Australia:

I have Type 1 diabetes and would like feedback on a deep seated itch which is under the skin and this itchiness causes me to scratch for hours and affects my arms and more so my legs. I do not have any rashes or dry skin of any kind.

Answer:

Some people experience itching when their blood sugar is high. You should probably be evaluated by your physician since there are a number of conditions that can cause itching.
