Horrible skin pealing and shedding?

I have a question and want to know if its from Diabetes. My skin, all over my body, arms, legs, torso, head, face, is just shedding terribly. It of course looks terrible. I use creams, lotions, anything to try to stop it. I have changed soaps, detergents, shampoo. I am down to scraping it with hard brush or believe it or not, I use a credit card to scrape my arms and legs, even my pet egg works. I can fill it up with skin in minutes. Does anyone have this that has Diabetes? It is embarrassing and kind of disgusting. I wear long pants, skirts and long sleeves to hide it. The texture on my arms feels like thick leather. I look forward to hearing from someone. I hope no one has this, but I do hope someone knows about it.............Happy turkey day everyone........Cathy

HI Lanie, all my doctors, including dermatilogist have never taken me seriously, nor taken the time to really LOOK at it. I am so fed up with doctors. I far prefer the PAs when I have an apt. They are more through and listen better. I tried again tuesday when I went in for out patient at hosp. for more injections in my back but was canceled because I had, and still have a bit of fever. NOt high, but enough to make me feel even worse overall. This condition has come on slowly over past 6 months, but is unbelievable now. I intend to take a whole zip lock bag full of skin to my next visit with my PC. I think that something is crazy in my body. This fever, and sore right side of my body where my enlarged spleen is. I have so much pain all over my body, anywhere on my body is tender to touch. I cant stand even discussing anything any more. I am just fed up to my gills. I am just disgusted and have no confidence in doctors. I thank you for listening to my rant. Have a great weekend Lanie, thanks again and hugs from Cathy
