Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The most common reasons for hot flashes are Vit D deficiency and thyroid dysfunction, I recommend that you get it checked on your next visit with the general physician.
However the other reason in you could be autonomic dysfunction, it is seen in long standing diabetic patients.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
