[QUOTE="Emck, post: 2351588, member: 498565"] Hi all, For the past few years, I have suffered really badly with drenching night sweats. However in the past year, it has really gotten much worse. I don’t really know if it is linked to diabetes (other than when it is hypo-related). It really affects my quality of sleep and I’d love to know if anyone has been able to get rid of the sweats altogether. I have searched the forum and can see that some others do think there could be a link with sweats and diabetes. I have been trying all of the suggestions I can see on the internet. I have done the following: [LIST] [*]No heating on in bedroom (it gets pretty freezing except when we’re asleep). [*]Sleep under a 4tog duvet for most of the year, except winter. We have just swapped up to a 10.5 to as it is what we had before we moved to the lighter one. For most of the year the 4 tog controls the sweats, but it’s just too cold to use it right now. [*]Had blood tests to check for underlying causes (all clear). [*]Sleep in minimal pjs (just cotton vests and shorts). Without these I just soak through the sheets faster. [*]All bedding is natural fibres (cotton plus feather duvet and pillows) [*]Invested in a mattress with a “cool side” for summer that we use all year round. [*]Don’t let myself or husband into bed in the few hours before we’re planning to sleep as this tends to “heat up the mattress”. [/LIST] I’m really getting to my wits end with this. I can’t remember the last time that I had an uninterrupted night’s sleep :( For context I am early 30s so shouldn’t be menopause related. Any further tips would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
