lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The blood glucose level mentioned (140 mg) whether it is fasting or PP is not clear. What is the HbA1c%? That will give an idea of long term control. The drugs being taken do not cause sweating. It is because of you being overweight with a BMI of 28.9 kgs (normal <23 kgs/M2) almost close to grade 1 obesity. Your ideal weight should be 54 kgs, which means you carry 20 kgs extra. That is the reason for sweating. You should seriously consider reducing the weight. That will help in better blood glucose control. Thanks.
