Answer 4

I'm going to assume you are a diabetic, and having this problem. Low blood sugar will cause sweating.

Hypoglycemia is low blood glucose. Symptoms are--
Sweating and palpitations
Pale skin
Hunger - to the extreme
Trembling
Irritability
Anxiety/aggression
Poor concentration
Feelings of faintness/dizziness
Loss of consciousness
Death

See that last symptom? This can be a very dangerous condition, and needs to be addressed. I believe in the alternative medicine point of view, which you may not have been exposed to--so I'm sending along the long version, for your enlightenment. Use whatever works, and throw the rest away--but if you have diabetes, watch the short video.


I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Just recently found this 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html , about diabetes diet. Click on the link, then click 'View Windows Media' to watch it.You'll be glad you saw it.

Answer 5

A lot of the other answers make valid points...I'll try to sum it up. Unless there is another reason for your nighttime sweating (ie: room too warm, lots of blankets, etc.), it sounds as if you are becoming hypoglycemic at night. This means that your blood sugar is too low. Low blood sugar can be a VERY dangerous and emergency-type situation. It is possible that you are not eating enough at dinner, or that you are getting too much insulin at dinner or bedtime (if you use insulin). This is a situation that you ABSOLUTELY need to discuss with your doctor NOW, as he/she may want to adjust your insulin dosing. If this ever happens again, it may be a good idea to have a serving of REAL sugar containing juice, soda, candy, etc., see how you feel after and then recheck your blood sugar. Definitely call you doc ASAP, and be sure you take your medications/insulin as directed, check your blood sugar regularly, and let you doctor know about any changes in your diet, exercise, medications, and overall health.

Answer 6

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest. Sweating helps the body stay cool. In most cases, it is perfectly natural. People sweat more in warm temperatures, when they exercise, or in response to situations that make them nervous, angry, embarrassed, or afraid.
Excessive sweating occurs without such triggers. Persons with hyperhidrosis appear to have overactive sweat glands. The uncontrollable sweating can lead to significant discomfort, both physical and emotional. When excessive sweating affects the hands, feet, and armpits, it is called primary or focal hyperhidrosis. In most cases, no cause can be found. It seems to run in families.
If the sweating occurs as a result of another medical condition, it is called secondary hyperhidrosis. The sweating may be all over the body or it may be in one area.


In both cases you'll find on this site some good tips to solve your problem: http://hyperhidrosis.toptips.org
