Hello,
Your husband is a Type II diabetic and his blood sugars were high.
Now he is on OHA's.
He complains of itching.
Hyperglycemia may cause itching.
It may be due to drugs.
Diabetics are prove for superficial fungal infection. So see for any Tinea versicolor infection.
Do a Liver function test for any abnormalities.
