Here are 5 common diabetes symptoms that often show up at night:
🌙 1. Frequent urination (nocturia)
- Waking up multiple times to urinate
- Caused by excess sugar in the blood pulling water into urine
🥵 2. Night sweats
- Can happen when blood sugar drops too low during sleep
- Often linked to medication or insulin use
💧 3. Excessive thirst
- Feeling very thirsty at night or waking up needing water
- Happens due to dehydration from frequent urination
😴 4. Restless sleep or insomnia
- Blood sugar fluctuations can disturb sleep
- May cause waking up feeling tired
🦵 5. Tingling or burning in feet
- Nerve-related symptom (possible early neuropathy)
- More noticeable at night when you’re lying still
⚠️ Why these happen
- High blood sugar (hyperglycemia)
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
