      A lot of diabetics end up with Fatty Liver Disease, which can end up with very itchy skin. When I switched to the Mediterranean Diet because I was diagnosed with NAFLD, the itching went away in a few days.

      I have lots of itching but I have had eczema way longer than I have had diabetes. Sounds like neuropathy to me. šŸ˜•
