I have had t1d for 37 years and when my bs is in normal range when i am asleep i am woken up with extreme thirst and drenched in sweat. what gives?

Hypoglycemia: It's possible that you're having a marked drop in blood sugar (hypoglycemia, Insulin reaction)during sleepand the body reacts by secreting Adrenalin which in turn causes sweats. This sometimes causes the blood sugar to rise too much and be high upon awakening.
