Why do i sweat in my sleep? Is it linked to diabetes?

It is possibly related to the diabetes.  I also started out the same way (pregnancy which led to diabetes that never went away,it's been 13 yrs).  I was put on insulin, and would wake up at night from the sweating if I did not eat properly before going to bed, once I had taken the needle.  If you are on insulin and are not eating properly before going to bed ( i.e  supper and a snack) then there is your problem.  Mind you all the diabetes related meds can do this, but the insulin is the worst, be very careful if you are on it.

It may be a sign of Diabetes, I asked a a friend of mine who has it, what were his first signs of it, he said he would have to go often.

Cold sweats generally refers to the cold, clammy sweat you get such as when you're nervous or scared. Cold sweats is a symptom in several diseases, such as cancer or tuberculosis.

I would not lose sweat or sleep on this for now. Sometimes things like this may take more thna a month or a period to regulate back to normal. I would wait till the weekend is over and talk to the doctor's office and they will probably want you to wait for a month too, good luck

I think you have what I have.  It's called hyperhidrosis, it's a dominant genetic trait that's caused by an overactive nerve that controls the sweat glands.  Do your feet sweat pretty badly too?\nThere are a few medical options, including surgery (but from this thing on hyperhidrosis on 20/20 about 10 years ago, the side effects of the operation weren't good-- the people starting sweating profusely from the face and groin instead!).  Go to the dermatologist and talk about options if it's really bothering you.  I tried a few topical things, but it felt really uncomfortable for me, as if my hands were trying to sweat but couldn't (which is probably what it was doing-- I'm pretty in tune with my body though).\n\nI've held hands with my exes, and they were nice enough to look past it (although I wouldn't if I were them!!!).\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhidrosis\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007259.htm\nhttp://www.curesweatypalms.com/Hyperhidrosis.shtml\nhttp://www.hyperhidrosis-usa.com/hyperhidrosis.html\n\nGood luck!  I hate this condition too, but it's better than some other genetic conditions!

Do you have a blanket on your bed?  Try sleeping under just a sheet.  If that doesn't work (or you've already tried that) there could be an underlying medical problem.  Hormonal fluctuations (such as PMS, menopause, or the less common male version andropause), diabetes, and sleep apnea can all cause this.  For diabetes symptoms, check out http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-symptoms.jsp.  For sleep apnea symptoms, check out http://www.sleepdisorderchannel.com/osa/.  It could also be something more simple like exercising too close to bedtime.

If you are so thirsty to wake up to drink water, it "could" be a a sign for diabetes, I think.  I am defintely not a doctor, but someone told  me this.  I hope that is not the case with you.

its a posibillity you have hyperhidrosis, its a disease when people sweat a lot more than usual, sometimes it has odor sometimes it doesnt but it usually affects the palms of the hands, the face, back and pits, the treatment i believe is a simple laser surgery.

I would guess some kind of food allergy before diabetes.  I am not aware of hyperglycemia causing the symptoms you described.  Having to drink fluid and pee frequently is a sign of diabetes, among others.  If DM is a concern, a fasting blood glucose level could be taken in a clinic.

u cant decrease sweat and ur not supposed to. Sweatin is metabolic process ur body does when it heats up to much.If u dont sweat the high body tempature would make u sick like when u get fevers.

Go here, and scroll down: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003218.htm\n\nSweating when not exercising or hot can mean your body needs to get rid of something. If you are also urinating and thirsty, it could be a symptom of diabetes. It may be a thyroid problem.\n\nYou should see a doctor if it was sudden and continues more than a few days. If you know a diabetic, test your blood sugar level with his or her test meter.

Don't stop sweating. It is your bodies device to cool itself. The result would be dehydration. Your body chivers to warm itself. Try cutting down on your salt intake, if your blood pressure is allittle high.

It is one of the symptoms of diabetes, or you could be getting dehydrated more than ususal. Next doctor visit have them check you out.

Being extremely thirsty and having to go to urinate a lot can be an early indication of diabetes. However, if you're averaging 3-7 bathroom breaks a day (I think 4-6 is considered the norm), I don't see that as a problem. It sounds like you're probably just stressing out over it for no reason. Can you usually sleep through the night without having to get up to pee? If so, relax.

I will explain this as best I can.  I am a first year medical student so I can't assume to be an expert but I will tell you  what I have researched.  Please read this all because it could be important.\n\nA large amount of sugar in your diet (sugar, cake, etc.) will be absorb into your bloodstream and cause your pancreas to dump a lot of insulin.  In your case, your body may be releasing too much insulin.  Insulin helps get the sugar out of your blood and into the cells of your body.  In this case, a large amount of insulin could actually cause so much of that sugar to enter your cells that there isn't enough left in the blood.  The brain is very sensitive to sugar levels in the blood.  If the brain notices low sugar it sends out hormones that cause your body to release more sugar into your bloodstream.  One of the hormones it releases is called cortisol.  Cortisol causes a different organ in your body (adrenal glands) to release something called epinephrine, or what you know is called adrenaline.  Adrenaline causes your liver to produce and release sugar into your bloodstream.  Adrenaline also causes the heart to beat much faster.\n\nNow I have to ask you some questions.  Do you ever feel: nervousness, perspiration, shakiness, dizziness, light-headedness, sleepiness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and feeling anxious or weak?  Do you feel any of these at the same time that your heart rate increases?\n\nThese are signs of hypoglycemia (just means low blood sugar).  Low blood sugar can be very serious if allowed to get too low.  A person can actually go into a coma.  This is seen in people who have diabetes and take too much of their insulin and do not eat enough sugar.  They can act confused and even appear a little intoxicated.\nIf you seem to experience these symptoms I suggest you go to this website: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/index.htm and also call your doctor for an appointment.  Don't freak out, it is quite manageable and not at all uncommon.\n\nIt could be that your body is producing too much insulin or that your body just seems very sensitive to insulin or sensitive to adrenaline.\n\nIf you have hypoglycemia it is the "reactive" form and not the "fasting" form (which can be very bad).\n\nIf you releasing too much insulin, you could have hyperinsulinemia.  In your case "reactive hyperinsulinemia".  This is sometimes seen in people who have insulin resistance or also diabetes mellitus.  I suggest that you look into the symptoms of diabetes.  The typical symptoms are increased thirst and frequent urination.  If you have these symptoms as well you should definitely go see a doctor.  Again, nothing to freak out about but very important to get treated.  Here is a site on diabetes.\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/type-2-diabetes/DS00585/DSECTION=2\n\nAgain, this could mean nothing, but I do believe that you should schedule an appointment with a doctor.  It is common for a medical school student to make a mountain out of a molehill.  Only a doctor can tell you for sure.
