One test doctors do not perform typically unless asked is:

fasting INSULIN.... this can be elevated in insulin resistance and not show abnormal high sugars on GLUCOSE testing.

Elevated, will give blood sugar swings, that provoke sweating.
Sweets and carbs, or large meals, are the worst offenders.

Fasting insulin elevations are "pre-diabetic". Many doctors don't attend to this at all.

If you get a fasting insulin done, do not exercise before the blood is drawn on an overnight fast. This will also elevate the readings.

Some of us at PN (myself included) have this test done yearly.
