7 Nighttime Warning Signs of High Blood Sugar You Shouldn’t Ignore!
Diabetes doesn’t sleep, and your body might be trying to warn you while you’re asleep. If you’re experiencing these symptoms at night, it could be a sign your blood sugar levels are too high. Take a look at these 7 early warning signs and protect your health:
- Dry Mouth or Extreme Thirst – Waking up often with a dry mouth or craving water could be your body trying to flush out excess sugar.
- Excessive Sweating at Night – Even without heavy blankets, nighttime sweating may be a sign of blood sugar instability.
- Frequent Urination – Do you wake up often needing to use the bathroom? High glucose levels can overload your kidneys.
- Restless Sleep or Insomnia – High blood sugar can affect sleep hormones, making it hard to fall or stay asleep.
- Tingling or Numbness in Hands/Feet – Nerve damage (neuropathy) due to elevated sugar often begins with this feeling.
- Sudden Mood Changes or Irritability – Blood sugar swings can impact your mood and energy levels.
- Blurred Vision or Headaches – Elevated sugar can change fluid levels in the eyes and affect pressure, causing discomfort.
Don’t ignore these signs! Your body speaks—especially at night. If you’re noticing any of these symptoms regularly, talk to a healthcare provider and check your blood sugar levels.
