Nocturnal polyuria: This frequent need to urinate during the night, similar to a leaky faucet, may indicate excess blood sugar that the kidneys are trying to eliminate.
Excessive thirst: Drinking a glass of water before bed is normal, but waking up with a dry throat repeatedly may indicate hyperglycemia.
Night sweats: Sweating profusely for no apparent reason may be related to hypoglycemia (a sudden drop in blood sugar).
Nighttime hunger: A sudden, ravenous appetite in the middle of the night could signal an imbalance in blood sugar levels.
Insomnia and frequent awakenings: A brain deprived of adequate blood sugar control will have a harder time falling into a deep, restorative sleep.
