“7 Warning Nighttime Symptoms of High Blood Sugar You Shouldn’t Ignore”
7 nighttime symptoms that can occur with high blood sugar
-
Frequent nighttime urination — High glucose can cause the kidneys to remove extra glucose and water, increasing urination.
-
Intense thirst or dry mouth — Increased fluid loss can leave you thirsty, even during the night.
-
Nighttime headaches — Changes in blood glucose and dehydration may contribute to headaches.
-
Restless or disrupted sleep — Thirst, urination, and other glucose-related symptoms can repeatedly interrupt sleep.
-
Blurred vision — Significant changes in blood glucose can temporarily affect the eye’s focusing ability.
-
Fatigue or unusual tiredness — When glucose isn’t being used effectively by the body’s cells, fatigue can occur.
-
Itching or dry skin — Dehydration associated with elevated blood glucose can contribute to dry, itchy skin.
Important: These symptoms aren’t specific to high blood sugar and can have many other causes. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated with blood-glucose testing rather than diagnosed from symptoms alone. Extremely high blood sugar accompanied by vomiting, abdominal pain, rapid/deep breathing, confusion, or severe drowsiness can be an emergency and requires urgent medical attention.
