Severe itchy scalp after eating sugar

I wasn't soo sure it was the cause at first. I haven't touched sugar for a few days and I've been fine. Today to test it out, I've had a few biscuits and within the hour my scalp is itchy. It feels like i have I'm infested with nits (I definitely am not). It's a crazy non-stop severe itch. Looking online, it looks like i could either be diabetic and it's caused by uncontrolled sugar levels or I have a candida infection. If it's candida how do I get rid of it permanently (assuming i can)? Anyone had this before?

If you think it is sugar, you could just not eat sugar.
One of the treatments for candida is a low sugar/no sugar diet.
