Diabetes is a disease, difficult to cure, high risk of complications such as: foot ulcers, cataracts, retinopathy... so this morning I went online to learn about the disease, then by chance I read the consultation article of Dr. Le Thi Viet Ha, Head of the Department of Thyroid Pathology, Central Endocrinology Hospital (Ngoc Hoi, Tu Hiep, Thanh Tri, Hanoi) said that the symptoms Thirst at night is also one of the symptoms while sleeping that warns of diabetes, moms.

So according to Dr. Ha's advice, when you see the following 4 symptoms while sleeping, it is best to check your blood sugar level as soon as possible, moms!

Often feel thirsty

If you often feel thirsty while sleeping, and wake up to drink water and still feel thirsty, this may be a sign that you have diabetes

The reason is that diabetes can reduce the secretion of body fluids, making you susceptible to dry mouth and thirst. Often accompanied by nocturia. When you have these signs, you should go for a check-up as soon as possible.

If not due to drinking too much water before going to bed or having kidney disease, or the elderly, it is common to urinate once or twice. But suddenly you wake up to pee frequently at night, this can be one of the early signs of diabetes. The cause of this condition is when the body's pancreatic insulin is out of balance, it will cause blood sugar levels to rise and fall. The pancreas is a metabolic system, which leads to frequent urination at night.

Anxiety, restlessness, and diarrhea

Normally, the body is in a relatively quiet state when lying down to sleep. In addition, for normal people, the body will consume less blood sugar while sleeping. However, if you feel anxious and sweaty while sleeping, it could be a sign of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). With diabetes in the early stages, these signs may often occur. After a person falls asleep, the blood flow in the hyperglycemic state will slow down, while the body still needs calories, this will cause the consumption of glucose in the blood, which will cause hypoglycemia. Therefore, if this happens frequently, you should go to the hospital to measure your blood sugar. Feeling exhausted and hungry

When a person's blood sugar level becomes higher, the body's ability to metabolize sugar will appear abnormal and decline, so

If even after eating dinner, you are still very likely to be hungry before going to bed, then be wary of diabetes. The reason is that when a person's blood sugar level becomes higher, the body's ability to metabolize sugar will appear abnormal and decline. And when you feel hungry, the body cannot get enough calories needed, there will be a feeling of weakness, fatigue, lack of strength and other symptoms. It is best to pay attention to go to the doctor promptly when these symptoms appear.

Doctors advise

If the above 4 symptoms appear before and during sleep, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor will measure your blood sugar to determine whether you have diabetes or not to have a suitable treatment plan as soon as possible.

To prevent diabetes, each person in daily life needs to have a scientific diet, exercise regularly, avoid staying up late, avoid stress and excessive fatigue. In addition, you should prioritize taking care of your health every day to have a healthier body and better resistance, thereby staying away from diabetes as well as many other dangerous diseases.
