Abstract |
A 42-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic man presented with severe bilateral gustatory sweating associated with a deterioration in his glycaemic control. Conventional oral antimuscarinic medication was contraindicated because of his cardiac insufficiency. Topical 0.5% glycopyrrolate cream was tried and applied on alternate days to his face, which resulted in the complete cessation of his gustatory sweating without side-effects. Topical glycopyrrolate cream is an effective treatment of diabetic gustatory sweating without the adverse effects commonly found with oral anti- muscarinic medication.
