    Although there is no direct connection on having dry skin and diabetes, there are a number of skin problems that can be associated with the disease. People with diabetes are more than twice likely to have fungal skin infections than those that are not diabetic. The number one reason is that fungi and bacteria would love to feed on skins with high glucose.
    For mosquito problems, you can use insect-repelling creams and once bitten, use anti-inching creams(available in your local drugstores).
