Don’t IGNORE These Nighttime Signs of Diabetes

Don’t overlook these 15 nighttime signs of diabetes!

0:00 Introduction: Diabetic signs at night
0:11 Frequent urinating
1:35 Restless legs syndrome
2:42 Diabetic neuropathy
4:01 Excessive sweating
5:47 Hypoglycemia
7:11 Gastric reflux
8:55 Heart palpitations
9:15 Teeth grinding
9:28 Headache

Check out these 15 symptoms of high blood sugar that might occur while you’re sleeping.

1. Frequent urinating
This is known as nocturia and occurs when your kidneys remove excess sugar from your blood.

2. Excessive thirst
As your kidneys eliminate sugar through your urine, you deplete magnesium, potassium, and calcium. You can also become dehydrated, so you may have excessive thirst.

3. Restless legs syndrome
Excess sugar depletes vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 deficiency causes lactic acid buildup and a lack of oxygen in the legs. This can also be related to magnesium deficiency.

4. Peripheral neuropathy
This condition causes burning, pain, or numbness on the bottom of the feet. Benfotiamine combined with alpha lipoic acid is a great remedy.

5. Cramps in lower legs and feet
Too much sugar in the blood can cause a magnesium deficiency and calcium buildup. Magnesium glycinate supplements can help, and can also improve sleep.

6. Excessive sweating
This usually occurs in the face, neck, or upper part of the body. High blood sugar causes sympathetic dominance, which causes a person to be in a constant state of fight or flight.

7. Sleep apnea
This usually occurs because a person has high levels of insulin.

8. Hypoglycemia
If you have high blood sugar, your body will try to lower it with insulin. This can cause you to wake up during the night with low blood sugar. Following a low-carb diet for at least 6 to 8 months can help correct this problem.

9. Delayed sleep
High levels of sugar delay the release of melatonin.

10. Gastric reflux
High blood sugar can affect the autonomic nervous system that controls the valve on the top of the stomach, causing GERD.

11. Nightmares/vivid dreams
This is typically related to a neurotransmitter problem caused by a deficiency in vitamin B1, which is depleted by high blood sugar.

12. High blood pressure
Nocturnal dipping occurs when your blood pressure and pulse rate decrease during sleep. When you have diabetes, this doesn’t happen. This is called non-dipping.

13. Heart palpitations
This is caused by a lack of potassium and magnesium and can be corrected with a good electrolyte powder.

14. Teeth grinding
The activation of the sympathetic nervous system puts a person into a state of stress while they’re sleeping, causing teeth grinding.

15. Headache upon waking
This usually occurs because of dehydration.

    Like describing me 2 years ago. Had symptoms no 1,3,7,8,12,13 and 15. In fact, frequent, strong headaches in the morning. Years of blood work, CT scans and 3 different doctors looking mainly at neck muscle problems turned out to be jack all. A fourth doctor talked about possible inflammation of some sort. Curious and desperate, I went on dr. youtube looked up inflammations and made a potion with turmeric and ginger. My sinuses opened up immediately as if I was not even breathing till that point. Headaches disappeared instantly. I started not feeling hungry all the time. I then stumbled upon your videos Dr. Berg on intermittent fasting and thought to give it a go since I was not eating 4-5 times a day anymore. That was Jan 23. Today I have lost 18kg, and I am as light as I was 25+ years ago. I am 46. I do not understand everything you say, but just watching you and following as much as I can has changed my life. As difficult as it was to lose the weight (I trained regularly for years) it is now easy not to put it back on. I still do not understand the mechanism behind the weight loss but the first 14 kilos I lost in six months. I had people approached me worrying that I had cancer or something. I take magnesium, vitamin d and kalium as well as B1. Never been healthier. I know you have heard it many times but thank you and thank God you are around man!

    I had been grinding my teeth since my 20’s and I never ate anything with sugar, being that was extremely athletic. The grinding was causing the headaches when I would wake up. Went to my chiro told him about it and he adjusted my jaw, changed my life.

I will tell you that it will change your face structure, for me it was perfect for my face when he adjusted because my jaw was hanging and I could barely open my mouth to eat and I was always in pain on my face, neck and jaw muscles.

    Excellent advice as always. I told a customer about you and a couple of weeks later he came in and thanked me for letting him know about you. He was really happy for the info, me too. I have to tell you about a coworkers mom scheduled for leg amputation in 3 days. They rubbed baby butte paste with zinc (30-40%) all over her leg up until the appointment. At the appointment, Dr. walks in, looks at her leg and cancelled the operation. So 5 months ago I hit my tow on a rock and 2 months later I noticed my toe had turned dark purple under and around up to the side of the toenail, not black but close. I put the zinc cream on for 5 days, totally gone. I had a pimple like thing on my arm for a couple weeks till it started looking worse, put the cream on that night, half gone next morning. Anytime my toes started to feel weird, put the cream on and gone. I think everyone needs this in their medicine cabinets, heals quickly. You are the best. Also I try eating better, intermittent fasting too. I’m diabetic.

    I had virtually all of these symptoms. In January I had a doctor’s appointment. She poked at my abdomen and said “More exercise, less cholesterol. This is your Olympics.” There were no blood tests as yet. I took that as general advice to improve my lifestyle.

    At times I was going to the bathroom literally every 5-10 minutes. Who would have guessed that consuming bags of chips, cakes, cookies and chocolate milk while sitting at a computer before bed was a bad thing?

    I found some of Dr. Berg’s videos, among others, concerning symptoms such as frequent urination and numbness. To say it was alarming is an understatement. I don’t want to be an amputee, or blind! I determined I would radically overhaul my lifestyle. I started by throwing all the snacks, canola oil and chocolate powder in the trash.

    Eight months later I am hiking 10-15 miles every day, sleeping at night, and 100 pounds lighter. People can’t believe they are looking at the same person as in January. I really feel like a different person. I can see the ground, tie my shoelaces and get out of bed without elaborate maneuvering. I was in rough shape.

    I had essentially self-diagnosed myself with T2 diabetes. It was never official. Now the blood tests look good and most symptoms are gone. I still have about 20 pounds to lose but I’ll get there soon.

    I encourage anyone who is in a similar situation to make that change. You can turn things around. It is just a matter of discipline. Time I spend hiking is the time I used to waste sitting at the computer. I only turn it on about once a week now. The hardest part was figuring out what to eat—or rather what _not_ to eat. That is 90% of what you find at the supermarket!

Prep diabetes is not acceprable. Diabetes us a horrible devastating progressive disease; I know because both my parents developed it as they aged and took medication me for it. It killed them both. I have a beautifull family & grandchildren & I love life and so I immediately took steps to reduce my 6.3 A1C. I changed and had improved my diet and exercises even more, based according to what I learned about healthy lifestyle from Dr.Berg. I did not t take any diabetic medicine. I cut out much sugar, carbs and processed food from my diet and stayed physically and mentally as best I could. And it worked! I am now 71 and weigh 112. I reversed my A1C to 5.4 and feel great! Thank you so much Dr. Berg for nav my the courage to step up and teach us the truth about our body’s and good health. You are appreciated👌
