What Causes Excessive Sweating While Sleeping?
I am a 47 year old insulin dependent diabetic with high blood pressure & kidney disease stage 4 I believe. My actual question is that at night while sleeping I tend to sweat at as if I had been exercising. It gets so bad sometimes that I now sleep with a towel under me every night because of all this sweating. I was just wondering is this something that I should be concerned about

Hello,
It could be happening because your sugar is going too low. When it happens check your sugar. If it is low you must contact your doctor immediately for a medication adjustment. It can also happen due to kidney disease, thyroid disease or blood disorders. You will need to see your doctor and get an exam and blood tests to determine the cause.
Regards
