Diabetes can result in nerve damage so that for some people, the nerves that control sweat glands are always “switched on.”

This can result in excessive sweating, known as hyperhidrosis.
‐----------------------------

Additional Cumulative vascular damage from glucose spikes eventually causes nerve damage. Eventually nerve death can result.

So the good news is that you can still halt additional nerve damage. And it's simple, just not easy.

If you control both your before eating numbers and 2 hour numbers to the Nondiabetic Range of 4.0(72 usa) to 7.8(140 usa). Then you can arrest the additional cumulative vascular damage now.

You can live your best life with diabetes now and into the future.

Make sure you increase your hydration level, since you have excessive sweating. And augment your electrolytes.

Do what you need to do. Take the best care of yourself.

We each have issues that we must deal with.

I deal with whatever comes my way.

I've got to leave now and go to the 2nd of the 3 different Oncologists I have to see in 4 weeks.

I got this.

If you are able try to corollate you sweating episodes with your blood sugar levels

Low Blood Sugar can cause profuse sweating - I often drop into the low 3's (high 50's/low 60's) while sleeping and sometimes wake up "So Soaked" that it looks like someone poured a pail of water over me - drenched, sheets soaked right through to the mattress pad

But if your blood sugar is normal or slightly higher (unless it's somewhat north of 300/16.6 mmols which is DKA territory and you should be in hospital) while you are sweating then Diabetes, while it may be a contributing factor, is NOT the primary cause

Talk to your Doc

From an ignorant layman's point of view it sounds like you're sick, Tracy, and might need to consult your doctor.

Haven noticed a smell I just get totally. Drenched so bad I have to change clothes like 2 to 3 times a day

What does your sweat smell like.
