Hi
I have recently been diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes as a result of chronic pancreatitis. I am on insulin. I use Levemir as my background and Novorapid for my quick acting. I have got my BG levels to a good range through Carb counting.
I have, for the last couple of weeks been suffering with night sweats, which are causing me to wake up, soaking wet and then not being able to sleep for a few hours. I also have pain in my feet and calves.
When I have woken, I have checked my levels and they are fine, usually between 5 and 8. I have also set my alarm and checked them at about 02:00 to 02:30 and they have been fine so I don't think I am having night time hypos.
Does anyone else suffer from this, or have any ideas as to what may be causing it. I have spoken with my Diabetes nurse and she wants to wait and see for a few weeks to see what happens but I am so tired it is affecting my every day life now.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
