i Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Profuse sweating should not be symptom of diabetes. Diabetes symptoms consists of weakness, increased urination mainly during night, Increased thirst hunger, etc. However sweating may be as a result of hypoglycamia (low blood sugar) due to use of hypoglycaemic drugs, if you are taking them.
Profuse sweating during night could be because of many reasons as following
1. Infections such as tuberculosis, abscesses, endocarditis, etc could cause night sweats.
2. Fever associated with infections or other problems can cause night sweats. Medicines taken to lower fever, such as aspirin and acetaminophen, can sometimes lead to sweating
3. Hormonal problems can lead to Night sweats. menopause is a common hormonal associated problem that could give rise to night sweats.
4. Night sweats could be due to some medications mainly anti-depressants.

Hope this information helps
