What Causes Chapped Lops And Dry Skin While Suffering From Diabetes?

I am a type 1 diabetic and my sugars have been pretty good but I am experiencing some dehydration. My lips are chapped, the inside of my nose is raw, skin is splitting and bleeding on my fingers and I have overall dry itchy skin. I live in the Midwest and the air is dry but is there anything else that could be contributing to these issues?
