Is skin itching in both legs a symptom of pregnancy complicated with diabetes?

Patient's question:

I am 31 weeks pregnant. Recently, my legs have been itchy. This morning, I checked my fasting blood sugar, which was 10.8, and my post-meal 2-hour blood sugar was 8.8. Why is this happening? Could it be gestational diabetes? Please provide a detailed explanation. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, diabetes can cause skin itching, so it's important to control blood sugar well. You can review your kidney function, follow a low-fat diet, and consume high-quality protein. It's not recommended to use beans and to drink porridge in moderation.
