cocacola said:I didn't know night sweats was a symptom of diabetes, I thought my night sweat were because I was a female of a certain age.
I was also wondering if it had anything to do with having a memory foam mattress.
Apart from the gluclazide, my medication is the same as yours - my night sweats are horrendous and I'm permanently exhausted from not getting much sleep. I tried having a small carb snack before bed but then found my early morning readings were higher than I'd like, so now I don't eat anything after 9pm, and my morning readings are back in the 6's, still higher than I'd like but better than before. Maybe I'll try your cracker snack for a week and see how things are night and morning. I'm due my hba1c at the end of the month so ill see what that shows too!If you eat some carbs before bed they night sweats are greatly reduced.
Check BS level before bed and if less than about 7.5 I eat a few crackers (Carrs melts) and have about half a little of water - sleep like a dry baby!
Diagnosed Type II 1998 1 x 80 mg Gliclazide, 4 x 500mg Metformin and 1 x 100mg Sitagliptin - HbA1c - 48 mmol/mol
Sorry, what's IGI? I need to know as much as I can in order to try and reduce my sweats as ill never have the energy to work again!Thank everyone for your comments I appreciate them. My night sweats it would appear are linked to IGI. It is also good to know from my perspective, that it is more common than I realised

I find that if I have nothing then I have night sweats but if I eat some carbs they are much reduced but basically you just have to work out what suits you over time. Some swear by jelly babies, and some jelly beans but the end result is pretty much the same.Apart from the gluclazide, my medication is the same as yours - my night sweats are horrendous and I'm permanently exhausted from not getting much sleep.
