8. Blurred vision at night 👁️
High blood sugar causes fluid to move within the lens of the eye, which can temporarily affect your vision. If your vision becomes blurry at night, it may be time to check your blood sugar.
9. Leg cramps or pain at night ⚡
Diabetes can lead to poor circulation, causing muscle cramps or sharp pain in the legs and feet. These symptoms often worsen at night when blood flow slows down.
What you can do
If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to check your blood sugar . Maintaining balanced blood sugar through a healthy diet, regular physical activity, proper hydration, and good sleep habits can make all the difference.
Avoid eating heavy meals or sugary snacks close to bedtime and discuss your nighttime symptoms with your doctor. They may suggest adjusting your medication or diet.
Final thoughts
Diabetes doesn't stop while you sleep, and neither does your alertness. Paying attention to these nighttime signs can help you detect the disease early, protect your nerves and organs, and wake up each morning healthier and more alert. 🌙💪
