Persistent itching of the skin in the course of diabetes should prompt you to contact a diabetologist (or at least a general practitioner) to check whether diabetes is well controlled at this time and whether itching is not caused, for example, by kidney complications of diabetes (important if the itching is generalized and affects the whole body). Sometimes itching in the course of diabetes can have a neurological basis. Itching limited to selected parts of the body may result from fungal infections and bacterial superinfections, to which diabetes predisposes - in this case, the infection should be treated. Sometimes itching in diabetes is associated with dry skin, so it is worth including appropriate care on your own: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/kosmetyki-dla-diabetykow
