Sweating While Eating

frey syndrome has nothing to do with diabetics google it you will fing out what it means

I haver had this same problem the last 6 months. i've discovered that is started when i started taking Lantus. I recently changed to NPH and the sweating stopped. It could just be a quirk, but are you taking lantus?

I am also insulin dependent and sweat when i eat. i just ate a few strawberries and could immediately feel my face and neck getting sweaty.

I'm also a diabetic dependent on insulin. I have this sweating on the head problem for many years. Eat time I take my meals, breakfast, lunch or dinner, whether airconditioned or not, my whole head will sweat profusely. Even when I look at pictures of fruits, real fruits, ginger or chillies, my head will start to sweat. I thought was a psychological effect but is not so. Have checked with western doctors and Chinese Traditional Medicine physicians. They have no clues or answers to that too. Just wonder if anybody out there can help.

I am 89 year old male, glucose 115, doctors say I am not diabetic.

But for 4 years or so I have sweating when eating a meal, sometimes

when eating anything...this sweating comes and goes, it is likely related to blood count. When my blood count was below 12 this did not seem to be a problem. Taking iron to increase blood count and the sweating has come back. Also taking diurectic dyazide and toprol.

no one has answered the question for me, why I break out in a sweat during eating or just about anytime of the day. But mostly after a meal. I have mentioned it several times to a physician but it is falling on deaf ears. What is one to do. I need to know the answer. There has got to be a reason especailly since this just started approzx. 6 mo. ago thanks for allowing me to post this comment. MW

I sweat on my face when I eat chocolate. BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, etc....to eat them or even smell them, I break out in a sweat on my and scalp. As in dripping...

Due to low levels of glucose, autonomic discharge increases that results in increased sweating during exercise or eating.. Carbohydrate reserves in neural tissue are limited and normal function requires continous glucose supply.. This is common in diabetics!

What all you with diabetes are describing is called "Compensatory Hyperhidrosis" and it is called by damaged nerves.  Most of the time the problem is in the face neck and head areas but can spread to the stomach back and legs.

 

Unfortunately there is no cure and it cannot be reversed.

I've sweat since I can remember while eating. No one seems to have an answer. We should flood Dr. Oz with the question and hope he'll research it. I did with no response. I feel the same as others. Going out to eat is a napkin wiping evening. Hopefully the napkin is thick enough so you don't sit there with white paper fragments around your ears. I sweat just above my ears no matter what I chew or eat. I can have a glass of milk and sweat. There are muscles around the temple. Maybe we are just working out : )

I am a Type 1 diabetic and have had this problem for about 20 years. It began around the same time I started feeling a tingling sensation in my feet. I came across an article recently that said nerve damage caused by diabetes can cause gustatory hyperhidrosis.

Hi I am 47 and been a diabetic for 23 years. i  have noticed i sweat a lot on my head and face when i eat.

i am a 47 year old male diabetic on insulin, and when i eat my face and head sweats alot.

Hi All, just read most of your posts, but my son aged 13 now, started recently with sweating to one side of his face and is very visable when eating and most times the sweat runs down the one side of his cheek. This is caused by the PAROTID GLAND. Several years ago aged 9 he had a very aggresive tumour, however not cancerous, but on the verge with changes present. This was removed, however did cause nerve damage as a result he now suffers with sweating to one side of the face. They often say patients who attempt to eat a lemon, can cause pain as the gland tries to produce saliva. Please look up symptoms of this as this sounds like a lot of peoples problems on here. It may give some explainations to some people, but do not be too alarmed when you read the word cancer. 9 out 10 patients are non cancerous, but this is only if you have swelling or a lump to the side of the face, all others symptoms are non cancerous. Most of the time it is either nerve damage or a blocked saliva gland that causes these symtoms.

Hope this helps.

Guest,

I believe you may right for my case. I think I may have a blocked saliva gland. I've sweat when eating all my life and many things I eat or chew makes my jaws have the sour feeling. It's a pain and  I don't eat certain things because of that. Just had my physical and my suger is very good. Don't know if my kaiser ins. will cover and help me out on something like this. Wish it would stop though
