Type 2 diabetes and sweat

Posted by lulo @lulo, Sep 16, 2022

Prior to finding out I have type 2 I would sweat profusely of which I was told it to be menopausal. Past that now and still sweat profusely. I have read that it is a sign of electrolyte imbalance due to inadequate diet which lacks vitamins. Anyone in this group experiencing this?

I get night sweats quite often in my 70’s! Sometimes my blood sugar is very low but not always. Don’t know what it is causing it.

Autonomic neuropathy. Endos don't know anything or very little about neuropathies.

I have sweats during the day. In my 70s, long past menopause. I cant figure out what causes it. I am pre-diabetic.

My wife is not diabetic and in her 70's as well. She still is having those hot flash sweats.
Diabetes related would be if your blood glucose goes low and one of the symptoms is sweating and shakiness. Drinking a small amount (half a glass) of fruit juice or regular soda will counter that in 15 minutes or so. If possible check your blood glucose with a glucose meter. If under 80 you could be hypoglycemic. Just some thoughts. The best to you.
