Can profuse sweating be a symptom of diabetes?

I have been experiencing profuse sweating. It started over the past 2 months. I am a female, age 48. I have spoken with my primary care physician and he tells me it is due to hormones. I have researched this problem on the internet
and discovered maybe it could be due to diabetes. Diabetes runs in my family. My sweating consists of getting completely soaked. I can be sitting in a cool room, air conditioner running and still get to point of dripping wet.
It is a very embarrisng problem. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? If so, I would appreciate any advice I can get.

hi. i would insist on a urine test to check for diabetes , because that was how i found out that i had diabetes . i was diagnosed in 2003. it may be hormones but better safe than sorry
