Hi!
The symptoms that you have described mostly fall under hypoglycemia, that is low blood sugars.
During her episodes of sweating again try to have her Sugars tested with the same glucometer and also another glucometer.
Check if there is too much difference between the two.
Also have her HbA1c tested.
These are the initial things that we have to look for.
If hypoglycemia is not the problem then we can go in and look for other problems like vitamin deficiencies diabetic neuropathy etc.
