9. Skin itch
Diabetes directly affects the circulatory system. People with diabetes often suffer from dry skin, due to low sweat and sebum secretion. This can cause itching and infections, and in some cases spots may also appear on the skin due to insufficient blood supply in some areas.
Your body needs the fluids to drain the glucose concentrations in the blood and consequently, it ends up neglecting the moisture of your skin and generates this itchiness.
