Sweating and cold skin

In daily life, many people may have experienced this phenomenon: they sweat constantly but their skin is cold. In fact, this is a normal phenomenon and you don’t have to worry too much. When the human body is hot, the blood vessels will expand, and the secretion of the human sweat glands is constantly increasing. A large amount of sweat takes away the heat from the skin, so the human skin is cold. Drink more water and develop good living habits.

Beware of high blood sugar if you sweat a lot

The blood often contains a certain amount of glucose, which we call blood sugar, but when the sugar content in human blood is higher than the normal concentration, we call it hyperglycemia. Some people often develop hyperglycemia due to lack of understanding. If it is not treated in time, it will lead to the deterioration of the disease, so the prevention of hyperglycemia is particularly important.

Sweating is caused by neuropathy

Many diabetic patients often encounter such phenomena: they sweat profusely after walking a short distance or exercising for a while; in the hot summer, when others are sweating, they feel hot but don't sweat much; some diabetics sweat significantly more in certain parts of their body, such as the palms, head, neck and back, which always sweat profusely while other parts don't sweat much, or even one side of the body sweats more and the other side less, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Once diabetic patients experience the above abnormal sweating phenomena, they should be alert to the possibility of neurological complications caused by high blood sugar! The autonomic nervous system is a type of nerve that is not controlled by human will and is responsible for gastrointestinal motility, sweat gland secretion and other functions. Under normal circumstances, when the human body temperature rises, the autonomic nervous system will command the sweat glands to sweat, and the evaporation of sweat will take away heat to lower the body temperature. Long-term abnormal increase in blood sugar will not only directly interfere with the metabolism within nerve cells, but also cause protein denaturation and microvascular lesions, resulting in local hypoxia of nerve tissue and impaired function. Therefore, nerve tissue throughout the body may be damaged by diabetes, and the autonomic nervous system is no exception.

Therefore, stable control of blood sugar through diet, exercise, psychological and drug treatment and regular monitoring is an important means to prevent symptoms such as abnormal sweating. When the above symptoms are found, diabetics should be aware of its importance, go to the hospital as soon as possible, adjust diabetes treatment, and take nerve nourishing drugs such as vitamin B1, B12 and methylcobalamin to protect nerve tissue. If discovered and treated promptly, there is hope that nerve function will be restored and sweating will return to normal.
