Diabetes causes your body to lose water faster than normal. This is because the condition forces your body to produce more urine leading to dehydration. When the body lacks fluids, the skin dries up, causing it to crack and flake which may be very itchy. Also, in advance stages of diabetes, kidneys start to fail, causing a build-up of ammonia in the body which escape through sweat.
