What Causes Muscle Pain , Headache And Diabetes?

I am 43, Female, have had type 1 diabetes for 37yrs. I have had these symptoms in the last month- daily dry mouth, headache, achy muscles (like flu or getting over) , heart racing for periods of time in the evening or morning, dizziness, and in recent weeks, extremely itchy skin around torso - started with my back, then went to arms, and now back, stomach, sides of torso & arms. Red spots have appeared on my back and shoulders, but they look like hives or something. I am irritable, depressed, not hungry, and have no libido (which is very abnormal for me) blood sugars do not correspond to symptoms. They are good. I am not.
