I am a 40+ year insulin dependent brittle diabetic and do not have your problem but your problem has it's own set of concerns apart from diabetes which may or may not be affecting your condition with regard to profuse perspiration. I do perspire heavily when hypoglycemic and get inordinately cold when hyperglycemic. With regard to your diabetes, if you are on a "two-shot a day" insulin regimen, I would consult an endocrinologist about getting to a two-insulin regimen using glargine and aspart as opposed to "N" or "R" twice a day. That endocrinologist will administer a C-peptide test to determine how much, if any, your body is still producing insulin and then can help you work out a precise formula for taking insulin according to how many carbs you are about to ingest considering how much insulin your body is producing. I, for instance, take 35 units of 24 hour release glargine to cover incidental responses to blood glucose levels and then take a unit of insulin for every 8 carbs I am about to eat and have to count the carbs to emulate how the body works for a non-diabetic. My hemoglobin A1C test scores are usually right around 6 which is that of a non-diabetic person as long as I strictly adhere to my regimen. You'll achieve much improved control by balancing carbs against insulin intake at each meal rather than two shots a day for blanket coverage which leaves you uncovered a huge percentage of the time. Many unspecialized M.D.'s are not qualified to treat diabetes and, knowing it will take many years to kill you, do not find YOUR problem urgent enough to get excited about. YOU have to own YOUR problem and seek out the best method of treating it and not simply dump it onto someone else and then follow their instructions.

As has already been implied or stated above, perhaps we're focusing too much on the wrong problem, attributing diabetes as a causal factor in your other issue, sweating, which it may or may not be. With regard to the profuse sweating, please have a look at the following url and then google "profuse sweating" or "hyperhidrosis" for other information and then look at it as a separate issue from diabetes: http://www.hyperhidrosis-usa.com/ets.html?gclid=CIeJyrSpgrgCFVNo7AodoXwA7w

I have been a professional photographer for about 42 years. I have done many weddings and other events. As I got older, I developed type 2 diabetes and extra pounds due to insulin. This is beginning to affect my event photography. In addition to low/high blood sugar, one of the effects I get is heavy sweating. I drip! Doesn't matter the temperature of the room, I get soaked. And it is embarrassing and I don't think it is very professional. The doctor didn't have any good ideas on how to control it. So the question is: do I need to give up event photography like weddings because of this problem sweating? Anyone else have a problem like this and what are your thoughts/solutions? It would not be disastrous to stop doing weddings as I don't depend on them for a living but there are of course other events that are affected. I hesitate to have brought this subject up but I know there must be others with a similar problem. What do you all do? Thanks

There are exceptional training material available all over the web or you can pay at Lynda.com and take Deke's Fundamentals of CS6 (CS5 and others is also available). The material is exceptional and the knowledge gained ranges from "down sizing and up sizing" and the different choices Photoshop gives us to correcting color balance in Raw and how to pull the greatest of amount of detail out of the image. Processing for one part the scene and then for another rather than shooting HDR. Very effective.

The possibilities are almost limitless in Photoshop and I opt to always work with RAW. If you compare the RAW image side by side with the Jpeg it is interesting what the camera has already done. You can chose to replicate it or carry your artistic inclinations in a totally different direction.

If you are truly interested in becoming relatively proficient with Photoshop the opportunity exists. It is a personal choice.
