"Doctor, I don't know what disease I have recently, every time I go to bed my mouth is very dry. This affects the quality of my sleep and makes me lose sleep at night," Mr. Vuong, 45 years old (living in Hoang Mai, Hanoi) told the doctor. He felt like he had a strange disease. At first, he thought it was due to a weak body, so he took a lot of oriental medicine but it did not improve. Encouraged by his family, Mr. Vuong went to the hospital for examination. After examination, the doctor concluded that he had type 2 diabetes. Doctors said that in diabetic patients, due to high blood sugar levels, the osmotic pressure in the blood will increase, at this time water in the cells is absorbed, causing dry mouth.

When blood sugar levels increase, it also causes osmotic diuresis. Due to the increased urine output, the patient will also have a dry mouth.
Diabetes is considered a "disease of the rich" and is closely related to long-term unhealthy living habits. Unfortunately, despite the high incidence of diabetes, it has not received enough attention. Some diabetic patients, even though their bodies have clear warning signs, still turn a blind eye and ignore them. Finally, by the time they discover diabetes, complications have already appeared.
Signs of high blood sugar can appear at any time, even when you are sleeping. Recognizing and monitoring these signs is important to controlling blood sugar levels and preventing dangerous complications.

Here are 5 warning signs of high blood sugar that can appear while you're sleeping.
1. Frequent urination at night:
When blood sugar levels are high, the body produces more urine to get rid of the excess sugar. This leads to more frequent urination at night than usual, often more than twice a night.
2. Unusual thirst:
High blood sugar can make you feel thirsty, even if you drink plenty of water. This thirst can wake you up in the middle of the night and make you need to drink water.
3. Dry mouth and bad breath:
When blood sugar levels are high, the body loses more water, leading to dry mouth. Lack of saliva can also contribute to bad breath.
4. Headache:
High blood sugar can affect blood flow to the brain, leading to headaches. These headaches often occur in the early morning, after waking up.
5. Fatigue and difficulty sleeping:
High blood sugar levels can affect the quality of your sleep, making you feel tired and having trouble sleeping. You may have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to feeling tired when you wake up.

If you have the above 5 signs, you should not hesitate any longer, the most important thing to do now is to go to the hospital to check your blood sugar level in time. Even if you do not have the above symptoms, you should check your fasting blood sugar level during your annual health check-ups, because the incidence of diabetes is too high now.
Having one or more of these symptoms does not mean you definitely have high blood sugar. For an accurate diagnosis, you need to see a doctor and have the necessary tests done. If you suspect you may have high blood sugar, see your doctor early for timely diagnosis and treatment.
In addition to the 5 signs above, some other signs that can also warn of high blood sugar while you are sleeping include:
Loud snoring

Mood swings or irritability
By recognizing and monitoring the warning signs of high blood sugar, you can better control your condition and prevent dangerous complications.
