Diabetes has greatly affected many lives, causing both health and financial challenges.

As more people are diagnosed, managing the condition has become a constant struggle for individuals and healthcare systems.

Here are five signs of diabetes that may manifest during sleep:

Frequent urination

Dehydration caused by frequent urination can lead to an intense feeling of thirst, which might disrupt sleep.

Excessive thirst

Poor blood sugar control can leave you feeling unusually tired, leading to disturbed or unrefreshing sleep.

Fatigue or restless sleep

Blood sugar fluctuations, particularly low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), can cause sweating during sleep.

Night sweats

Nerve damage from prolonged high blood sugar can result in tingling sensations or numbness, especially in the hands or feet, which may become noticeable during sleep.
