Hello,
The symptoms of your girlfriend are related to diabetes.
The syndrome of diabetes sweating excessively after eating is often related to peripheral neuropathy.
The damage is especially to a nerve that goes to the parotid gland, the large salivary gland in the cheek.
There is no treatment.
I recommend your girlfriend to maintain under control the blood sugar level.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
