I have read up on this on Webmd and they are actually recommending botox injections to prevent the sweat. I sweat ALOT, and have always sweated more than most folks. I have lost a crapload of weight and even before when I was younger, and downright skinny, I sweated like Pavorotti climbing stairs. It can be embarrasing at work to have pit stains when it's 70 degrees in the office and if I am put in a stressful situation or warm place, the sweat literally pours off my head.
Here's the link from Webmd, hope it helps

Wow, thanks for the link! I don't really want injections, if I don't have to get them. Lately, it seems to have been more under control than other recent times. It's so weird because I'll sweat like an overweight boy chasing a Twinkie on a treadmill driving my air-conditioned car, but when I'm at the lakes (sans deoderant, too) I won't sweat at all. None, nada, zilch. I've tried at least a dozen different deoderants.
Diabetes and high blood pressure have been a thing in my family, which are two of the reasons I lost weight; to get into shape so I lessen my chances of getting those. I check my blood sugar levels every now and then on my mom's blood machine (don't worry, everything's clean and sterile each time) and I've never been out of the norm. I usually average 75-90. The reason I speculated diabetes is because I am thirsty quite often and with the excess sweating, I have been told by several co-workers that it could be a sign of diabetes.
Anyways, like I said, my sweating has gone down a lot recently, but it's not 100% normal yet, but a lot better than I was about a year ago. I first noticed it in class when school started; the temperature was a little cooler than normal, about 68F, and I could hear this 'drip, drip, drip' sound while I was taking notes. I look down only to find that it was sweat dripping off my shirt! I had goosebumps for crying out loud! lol
