What Causes Fatigue, Joint Pain And Itchy Body Along With Diabetes?
I am experiencing the following conditions: fatigue followed by stretches of insomnia. Also, a chronic itch from head to toe (staying in the air condition as well as applying lotion does not help, nor does Claridon help alleviate the itching). Lastly, I am experiencing joint pain. I took a test for Mono and it came back negative. I am also awaiting results of a test for limes as I came into contact with ticks recently. I am a type 2 diabetic with good control. My latest A1C was 6.3. I am curious to what is going on. I take metformin, lisinopril, and atorvastatin.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need some blood test to rule out a high bilirubine that may be responsive for itching and check eosinofiles that suggest allergic reaction or parasites in intestinal tract. You need to see a physician who can order the above mentioned tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
