5 Diabetes Symptoms That Appear at Night

Night sweats can have many causes, but for people with diabetes or those using diabetes medicine, sweating during sleep may sometimes be linked to low blood sugar at night.

The American Diabetes Association explains that low blood glucose can trigger symptoms such as sweating, a pounding heartbeat, tingling, and anxiety, and people may be less likely to wake up when blood glucose drops during sleep.

If you wake up sweaty, shaky, confused, very hungry, or unusually tired, speak with a healthcare professional, especially if you already have diabetes or take medication that affects blood sugar.
