sweating

[lisaf]

Hi does any body suffer with excessive sweating on scalp and face? I am taking metformin and glicazide and am in quite good control of sugars but this excessive sweating is awful getting to the point where I am not going out, does anyone suffer from this and what can do about it.

Hi lisaf and welcome to the forum.

It could be that spicy foods are contributing to this or it may be related to autonomic neuropathy. It is know as Gustatory sweating.

This article explains it.

If you do a forum search for gustatory sweating you will see that you are not alone.

Thank you Catherine, or don't eat spicy food at all but will have a look for the other now.
