I have been sweating profusely while sleeping for some time. Can you tell me why? and what to do, there
There is no smell, but I risk catching a cold on my back.

Sounds like hyperhidrosis.Can be caused by conditions,including diabetes,heart disease, hyperthyroidism,menopause,anxiety and cancer.or as resu)t of underlying medical condition or as a side effect of medication.Insulin,levothyroxin,omeprazole,hydrocodone,and my hormone tablet are guilty.It often runs in families.Diabetes damages the nerves in sweat glands so they are overactive.Sugar overload also does this.
Otherwise could be simply too many bedclothes,too much spicy food,or a skin condition that needs treating.

If you have lightheadedness,chest pain or nausea,your MD should do something.Side effects are usually worse with higher doses of anlodipine.Dont follow why ozempic has to increase yet.

Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member, you are right to suspect amlodipine,one of its known side effects is sweating!Beware - heavy sweating can make your BP go down rapidly leading to fainting or falling.
Don't worry about writing in french willbe able to follow.hope you ok with English.Could make it very complicated and use Welsh 🐼
The missing word in my original post is hydrocodone.

Hello Pandapat. I am sorry for the ftench sentense here, i thougt it was automaticly translate, sorry.
This is very good information. There are things that hold my attention and I will see the doctor as soon as possible. Thanks also Andro. I come back with the average blood sugar between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. . It is also to be considered. But it is sure that something important is happening. There are drugs too, we look at everything.
Have a good Sunday

Assuming you're not sick (like a light to mild cold or flu), then a common cause for excessive sweating when your diabetic is that - sweating is another way that the body uses to get rid of excess sugar in your blood/body, like excessive urination.
What is your average blood sugar level at night, during 22h00 and 06h00?
