Have you ever experienced unexplained fatigue, excessive thirst, or tingling in your fingers? Many people ignore these symptoms, attributing them to stress and lack of sleep. But they can be early signs of high blood sugar. Even before a formal diagnosis, your body sends subtle warning signals. Deciphering these can be crucial.
Do you often wake up in the night feeling very thirsty or urgently needing to go to the bathroom? What if this is a sign that your blood sugar level is too high? While we sleep, our body continues to regulate blood sugar levels. However, when this balance is disrupted, certain symptoms arise. Although these symptoms are not yet fully understood, they can still be a warning sign of a deeper problem, such as undiagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes. Here are 10 nighttime symptoms you should definitely not ignore.

1. Excessive thirst that wakes you up.
Having to get up several times a night to drink water isn’t easy. High blood sugar levels lead to dehydration because the kidneys have to work harder to excrete excess sugar, resulting in increased fluid loss.
