Those with insulin dependent diabetes often experience symptoms that include perspiration and a drop in skin temperature during times of nocturnal hypoglycemia. The Giant Biosensor Night Time Cold Sweat Alarm is a device capable of being worn on the wrist or ankle that sounds an audible alarm and vibrates to wake those people who experience interrupted sleep due to drenching night sweat moments causing the need to constantly change your sheets & the clothes you sleep in. It triggers an alert upon detecting either a drop in skin temperature or the presence of perspiration (sweating) which is how the body regulates its temperature.
***Night sweats may be caused from a variety of factors. Your physician should always be consulted in cases of persistent night sweats.
Other than the purchase price, there are no on-going costs to run the monitor other than changing the batteries every six to twelve months.
Note: It is normal for your device to sound occasional false alarms. These can be minimized by ensuring the band remains snug during use or wearing on the ankle to keep at a constant temp under blankets.

I have type I diabetes and recently received my nighttime cold sweat alarm. I have found it to be very useful and reliable. I was able to wake up when I began perspiring and was able to check my blood sugar and eat something to prevent a hypoglycemic episode. It alarmed another time and my blood sugar was not low but I was happy to be awakened and check my status. thank you

I bought this for my Dad who is a diabetic. Without going into to much detail...previously our family had some scary events happen while he was sleeping. This sweat alarm has helped our family tremendously and I would highly recommend it to anyone experiencing Hypoglycemia. Because of this product, my Dad will wake up now at the sound of the alarm. I hope more & more diabetics realize this special product does exist.
