Teddan4d Diabetes does not necessarily cause excess sweating. have you changed the drinks that you hydrate with, as this may have some effect. do you take blood pressure medication and if so is there a diuretic included in it. In addition you are at an age when testosterone levels can decrease and this will have an effect on your muscle mass which intern may increase your workload and sweating, This will also have an effect on the ratio of hormones which could increase sweating I would recommend you have your clinician do a testosterone level to see if that could be the cause. Short of wearing fabrics to absorb the moisture there is not much you can do. if the sweat is confined to an area such as your armpits, you may consider asking your clinician for a product call drysol as this is a prescription strength antiperspirant
