Itching all over body, is it because of allergy or diabetics

I am 63 years old, dietetic type 2 since 2007. So for under control but suddenly experiencing severe itching for the last 10 days. Skin turns black and hard. I had same type of symptoms well before the onset of diabetic. Treatment taken for allergy but of no avail. As per Doctors advice watched for food allergy and zeroed it to milk. I gave up milk totally in all forms for four years.

So, Is the itching is related to diabetic or the emergence of old problem of milk allergy?

A problem like this is best understood and by self only with the help of medical professionals.Diabetes does result in peripheral neuropathy leading to dry skin ,itching and pain.It can be alleviated by applying moisturizing cream or body oils.But the description of your symptoms does not seem to fall in that category.I would suggest you consult an allergy clinic,preferably in a general hospital.
