Since having diabetes i seem to get really hot at night in bed, can it be the diabetes or just me? Even in the winter i sweat and have to move to the spare room. Boyfriend says i'm like a radiator!
 
23 views, either you're all ignoring me, couldn't give a stuff and don't want to answer or you don't get hot at night. thanks.
 
Do you drink much alcohol? I find that tends to cause night-sweats and raised temperature. There are plenty of other possible other causes, hypoglycaemia being one of them; have you tested when this happens?

From what little I've read, as many as 40% of people suffer similar symptoms, and it's mostly harmless, if inconvenient.
 
Hi Sorry
I have just got online from having evening meal!
I get hot at night times, I told my doctor about this., as having to sleep with out blankets or anything on! Completly burning up all the time!
i get so hot!
She said this is a problem with diabties and the heat! She said make sure that you drink plenty of liquids and try to keep a eye on blood sugar levels!
Have you had your hormone levels checked of late?
When female hormones play up can cause you to heat up like anything!
I was melting everybody in the room last night!
Hope this throws some light onto it for you!

Thanks. Nope I don't drink alcohol, on a rare occasion a can of beer but nothing else. Thanks for the stat 40% that's interesting.

Hi

But last night just the once! Oh it can be annoying, My toilet is downstairs, I have to run down the stairs every night! :D

Last year I suffered terribly with this. I couldn't get to sleep properly - and the sweat would run off of me (especially around my neck!).

As soon a s I re-gained control of my BG it went away...
 
I wish I knew the answer, because I am the same. My control isn't too bad, but it is worrying! Mind you, I did wake to my husband telling me that I was hot last night....and that hasn't happened in a while! :oops:
 
I'd suggest testing when it happens.

When I was little I used to have drenching night sweats, which I strongly suspect were nocturnal hypos.

OTOH it may be entirely unconnected, my Ex was a naturally hot person, especially in bed, whereas my mother has always had cold extremities. Neither of them are diabetic.
