Diabetes and Skin Signs

Skin signs, such as skin itch, or we call it pruritus, is an early sign in Diabetic patients. This article will focuses on this topic.
Most Diabetic patients tend to appear with skin problems, such as skin itch, etc. In fact, skin itch is one of the early symptoms in Diabetic patients. Some patients are itchy in the whole body, while some others have skin itch in some local part of the body. Why could that happen?
As a matter of fact, skin problems, especially skin itchy occur in Diabetic patients with some reasons. The first, the elevation of the levels of glucose will stimulate the nerve ending and vegetative nerves, and make them function disorderly, thereby, the skin itchy is induced.
The second reason is in this way. Since Diabetic patients needs to excrete the overhigh glucose by abundant amount of water, so Diabetic patients easily have the state of long-term dehydration, which could lead to the decrease of sweating, skin dryness, or skin itchy, etc.
The third reason is that when the Diabetes is complicated with Renal Insufficiency, especially the Uremia(ESRD), the buildup of lots of toxins and wastes in the body would induce the skin itchy.
Diabetes skin-itching patients are extremely sensitive to the outside stimulation, for example, skin itchy in them could be induced by many factors, including such as weather thermal changes, rubs to the skin by clothes, eating spicy foods, contacting into chemical fiber clothes, and drinking, etc.
