Well many people have night sweats and there is a variety of reasons. Being that you are a type two as myself, you may have an insulin dump at night. Mine is usually between 2-5 PM everyday. But it is more likely just your metabolism that is causing your night sweats. As a diabetic we are prone to metabolic issues. Hypoglycemia would be a different issue since you are in the correct range with your sugars. You are not hypoglycemic with a BG of 100, but a dump of your natural insulin and a fast decrease would cause symptoms similar to that of hypoglycemia. If you sugar is normal just hold on and see if you feel better in 10-20 minutes. If not then you probably have something else going on. As you sleep your bodies circulatory system pools blood in your organs due to your body lying down and this will increase your body temp. Also the hypothalamus controls your body temp and may cause a raise in temp at night. Anyway it is most likely nothing to worry about, but if you are still concerned certianly consult your physician.
