Hi, did you undergo Colectomy? Do you feel extreme weakness also? If yes, it can happen in people whose intestines are resected. sudden gush of insulin into blood will reduce your sugar levels while your intestines do not match the glucose absorption, which is the cause of sweating. Other side, just check out if your blood pressure and thyroid levels are also normal. Hope this helped.
