sweating after eating

In the past eating too many carbs has caused me to sweat profusely.

That might not be diabetes related. Don't know your age but my immediate thought was menopause, but something here doesn't quite add up when you say the sweating has been going on (presumably) longer than the erratic BS. To your GP I would suggest and good luck

I hope you don't mind us asking if you are peri/menopausal age? I think Mike may be on the right track here somehow, especially as bg is all over the shop ( what levels do you have, do you need to lose weight too?)

I got chucked head first into meno two years ago after Cancer treatment, although 49, I wasn't peri (levels had been checked). I'm significantly lighter now, size 14/16 down from 22/24 but if I eat anything the smallest bit sugary or carby (certain fruits/ little bit if pastry), I get slammed by flushes. The rest of the time I dont, just the odd few. I know for sure by doing some self evaluation that what I eat directly affects my meno symptoms. Does any of that sound familiar? Certainly worth getting anything unusual checked out too, to rule out any other causes.

Hi @treelover and welcome to the forum.

If you do a search for Gustatory Sweating you may find that other members describe the same symptoms. This could be the answer.

If I am right, I will never live this down .....

Sounds like you are doing all that you can for the moment treelover. I really hope you have got a decent DH, keeping carbs low can only help with your bg levels. I can't help with the eye issues but wish you all the best and hope that you won't need further treatment.
