hi, you have not mentioned whether you are a diabetic or not. The results are normal for a diabetic on drugs and there is no need to worry. night sweats are due to nocturnal hypoglycemia. Try to reduce the dose and it will be fine. if you are a non diabetic, you may require some medications, for which you need to consult a physician.
