**7 Nighttime Signs of High Blood Sugar You Shouldn’t Ignore**

High blood sugar, a common sign of diabetes, often shows up at night. Watch for these key symptoms:

**1. Frequent Urination & Thirst**
“Frequent nighttime bathroom trips” and constant thirst (polydipsia) may mean your body is trying to flush out excess sugar.

**2. Fatigue & Sleep Disruption**
High sugar levels block glucose from fueling your cells, causing “nighttime exhaustion.” You may feel drained even after sleeping.

**3. Restless Legs & Cramps**
An “urge to move your legs” or painful midnight cramps could signal nerve issues or poor circulation linked to high glucose.

**4. Sleep Apnea**
“Interrupted breathing during sleep” (sleep apnea) is more common in people with high blood sugar.

**5. Night Sweats**
Sudden sweating at night might indicate your blood sugar is spiking or crashing.

If these symptoms continue, check your glucose levels and talk to your doctor.
