What Causes Cold Sweats At Night In A Diabetic Patient?
I have a female neighbor (over 65) who is a Type 2 diabetic. Sometimes she gets really cold at night, even though she s sweating. She just can t get warm when that happens. She doesn t know if it s her neuropathy, which flares up periodically, or if it s something else. Any suggestions?

Hello,
Sweating is a part autonomic nerve dysfunction usually seen in patient with long standing diabetes; also most commonly sudden low blood sugars can cause sweating.
Kindly, check your blood sugars when you get cold sweats and review with diabetes specialist.
