<bot>: Hello, In case of diabetics it is necessary to keep your diabetes under control. There are increase chances of infection in such cases. You should do following to have relief:- Keep your blood sugar under control.- Some time such itching can happen due to blood stagnation. Apply a compression bandage from below upwards. In case of resting position keep your limb elevated on a pillow.- Take an anti itch preparation like Levi cetirizine on prescription. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
