Itchy Forearms. Overweight And Diabetic. Low Testosterone Levels And Gynecomastia. Advice?

I have developed very itchy forearms in the last year. I am 60 years old, very overweight and diabetic. I am very tired and sleep a lot of the day. However, I also gave gynocomasteia (even when I was young and slim) and may have a low testerone count (little pubic hair etc). I think there may be several things wrong at once... your opinion please
