Diabetic patients with excessive sweating may be caused by autonomic neuropathy, hypoglycemia and other factors, which can be treated with medications such as hypoglycemic drugs, nutritive neurotropic drugs or glucose as prescribed by the doctor.
1. Diabetic autonomic neuropathy: If diabetic patients’ blood sugar is poorly controlled for a long time, it may lead to autonomic neuropathy, which is related to the body’s secretion of sweat, and will lead to abnormal sweating. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions to reasonably control blood sugar such as oral metformin, and other hypoglycemic drugs, and if necessary, insulin injection. Nutritional nerve drugs such as methylcobalamin can be applied at the same time.
2. Hypoglycemia: If patients use too much glucose-lowering drugs or insulin, or fasting for strenuous exercise, it will lead to hypoglycemia in diabetic patients, which can be manifested by panic, hand tremor, sweating and so on. Diabetic patients with blood glucose less than 3.9mmol / L can be diagnosed as hypoglycemia, should be timely supplementation of sugar, oral or intravenous glucose supplementation therapy.
There may be other reasons for diabetic patients to have excessive sweating, in which case they should consult a specialist in time to avoid delaying their condition.
