Night time issues

Big sweating issues, and hot a lot. Do you get heart pounding as well?

Those are some of the symptoms of a hypo (blood glucose dropping too low). I used to get them, pre-diagnosis with DB, after too much alcohol, so I controlled that.

If you're going too low during the night, you may find eating a small carby and protein snack just before bed will help. I would have maybe 2 buttered oatcakes and a piece of cheese. The oatcakes contain carbs, and part of the protein in the cheese converts very slowly to glucose, and the fat slows everything down. So in effect you're slowly feeding yourself a little bit of slow-acting glucose to keep your levels up. Other people find a milky drink helps.

However, I am not a doctor, and I'm sure there could be other things that could give you the same symptoms. Have you discussed it with your doctor? Always a good idea.

I hope you get it sorted soon

HI
I am atype 1 diabetic on insulin and metformin. I have had diabetes for 37 yrs this year. I wonder if you test your own blood sugars, it may be possible your sugar may have dropped ( hypo), you may find eating a small snack before bed would be advisable.
Take care
