9 Signs of Diabetes That Appear at Night

Are you woken up by sudden hunger or palpitations?

Hypoglycemia can also be accompanied by shakiness, intense food cravings, mental confusion, or anxiety . If these sensations wake you up in the middle of the night, it may indicate a blood sugar imbalance that needs to be corrected.

Do you snore or have breathing pauses?

Sleep apnea , often underestimated, is common in people with type 2 diabetes . It particularly affects people who are overweight or obese , who are already at risk of insulin resistance . And the more sleep is disturbed, the more the metabolism is unbalanced.
