[QUOTE="Hobs, post: 301808, member: 24693"] I'm in no implying way this applies to anyone other than me, BUT, I know my diabetes went undiagnosed for years before moving to another practice at the turn of the millennium. It was then in 2000 I was finally diagnosed as a T2 and it was hinted that although many previous Dr's classed me a pre diabetic with no advice whatsoever, new thinking suggested that I may have been a diabetic for several years before that. Anyway, I had sweated mainly from head and shoulders profusely for many years before diagnosis and previously I was told to avoid situations that made me hot. Under the new practice I was taken more seriously and sent to a whole string of consultants, one of whom discovered I was suffering with nerve damage to my autonomic system, and the biggest clue was 'gustatory sweating' which in simple terms is top 1/4 body sweating brought about by eating, and often worse after a carb rich meal Unfortunately, it has no known treatment, but keeping BG's well under control will help it not becoming worse. I no longer sweat by eating low to lowish carb meals and can manage a good 1/3rd mile walking before I start to leak; so good BG control has certainly helped me :D [/QUOTE]
