A major side effect of diabetes is dry skin - why?

Diabetes reduces circulation. When skin cells do not receive a steady supply of water and nutrients, it is more difficult for them to stay healthy and repair damage to the skin. This means any scratch, abrasion, bump or other wound can lead to a chronic, hard-to-heal wound or ulcer.
Lower legs and feet are particularly prone to dry skin problems due to thinner skin and poor circulation in these areas.
"Elta Lite...has proven especially good for the lower extremities of our diabetics, keeping skin supple enough to resist the cracking & infections...It can be a life-and-limb saver for people with diabetes."
