Why does diabetes disturb your nights so much?
Think of your body as an orchestra: to play a beautiful symphony, each instrument must be perfectly tuned. In the case of diabetes, it’s as if some musicians are playing out of tune. The result: repeated nighttime awakenings that disrupt your natural rhythm.
Blood glucose naturally fluctuates throughout the night. In a diabetic, these fluctuations are more extreme, creating a true roller coaster for the body: peaks of hyperglycemia at the beginning of the night and hypoglycemia at dawn.
How to react to these nocturnal symptoms?
If you recognize several of these signs, it’s essential not to ignore them. Here are some simple steps to follow:
Consult a health professional : Only a doctor can confirm the diagnosis with appropriate tests.
Adopt good eating habits : opt for a light dinner, rich in fiber and low in fast-acting sugars to stabilize glucose levels overnight.
Establish a regular sleep routine : Going to bed and waking up at regular times helps your body better manage its energy needs.
Monitor your glucose if you’ve already been diagnosed : Modern devices allow for continuous monitoring to avoid late-night surprises.
