Do you get up several times to go to the bathroom?
If your nights are punctuated by frequent trips to the bathroom, it’s not necessarily a simple urinary problem. High blood sugar forces the kidneys to filter more to eliminate excess sugar, which leads to excessive nighttime urination . This phenomenon, called polyuria , is often one of the first signs of diabetes .
Do you sweat profusely at night?
Night sweats, often attributed to hot flashes or stress, may actually be a sign of nocturnal hypoglycemia . When blood sugar levels drop too low, the body releases adrenaline in response… causing excessive sweating . This is a symptom to watch for if it becomes frequent.
