Possibly urticaria? Does your skin become raised where you scratch it?
Urticaria is a harmless allergic reaction which can be caused by all sorts of things including stress and changes in temperature. Exposure to the sun etc. could also cause heat rash.
Sometimes itching gets worse at night with urticaria or with eczema. Do you have a rash?
If this is becoming troublesome, go to your doctor. It is probably just a mild skin condition or stress. I don't know of any link between diabetes and itching (although there is a link between diabetes and unexplained rashes - though I think this is still a "possible" link rather than a definite one).
An insect bite from 1.5 years ago is very unlikely to be linked to the itching you have now unless the grass lice (I have not heard of an insect by this name so I know nothing!) is well known for causing infections of the skin.
