I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and noticed that I sweat profusely at night. I take insulin and metformin. Is this related?
Most likely, Yes. It may be other things, but first i would rule out hypoglycemia.
Hypoglycemic attacks can cause sweating, I suggest you see your doctor and you may need adjustment of your medications. I also recommend you measure your blood sugars when the sweating occurs to ensure that there is no concurrent hypoglycemia. It may be that you are taking too much insulin in the evening or not eating enough in the evening. Do not worry about things like the somogi or the dawn phenomenon; let your doctor sort that out.
