How Can Intense Itching On The Soles Of The Feet Be Treated While Suffering From Diabetes?

I am occasionally having intense itching INSIDE one of my feet. Usually during sleep and wakes me up. itch in the arch or along side. I have type 2 diabetes under control without any meds. I took Metformen for years but dont need it now since blood reading in am is under 120 every day. Scratching foot sometime helps but lately makes itching worse! Can you recommend topical cream or pills that will help? Sometime Acetal L-Carnatine seems to work. Thanks
