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. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

These are all the symptoms my husband had and he died at 55 from a massive heart attack. It was sudden and unexpected. He would not stop eating sweets, the weekend he died he ate 350 bucks worth of treats he purchased at the grocery store. He was over weight but not too bad. He also became very agitated and angry just prior to the heart attack. It was very painful and he screamed for 20 mins. The ambulance could not find our house in a new subdivisioin because is they had not google mapped it yet so even though they were 5 minutes away they could not find us. It was too late. I gave him CPR for 20 minutes and it was exhausting as well as being very very worried about him. I wish had know all this years ago. I knew it wasn't healthy for him to do this but he was addicted to junk food. Very sad loss of a wonderful husband. Its basically common sense. Thank you for this video. This information would have saved his life. My mother did not allow us to have very many sweets growing up, but we had lots of fruits and vegetables. All 5 of us kids are very healthy and now in our 60s. My husbands Dad died at 46, his sister at 56 ,and him at 55. The first deaths were alcohol related . Very addictive type personalities. I was 49 when my husband died and have had a very hard time getting over his loss. So take care of yourself, its not always just for you , sometimes there are loved ones that miss you. RIP MPB

I was diagnosed with type II diabetes at 29. Went online and did my own research and determined keto was the route to go. All of my symptoms cleared up within three months. I’ve been off of insulin for seven years now. Keto diet saves lives.

The best advice for someone who is prediabetic and wants to prevent diabetes is to reduce carbohydrate intake. Avoid consuming sodas, sugar, bread, and pasta. Always calculate the carbs in your meals and try not to exceed 50 grams per day. Although completely avoiding carbs can be challenging, it’s important to significantly reduce them.

9 months ago i was diagnosed as pre diabetic, 3 months later i was diagnose with diabeties. So i removed all my sugar intake, no more sugar in my coffee, no more sodas, or sugary drinks, and stopped eating sugary stuff, like donuts, pastries, etc.... Drank lemon juice without sugar. in 6 months my A1C went from 6.5 to 5.9, making me no longer diabetic. Within those 6 months i also took Jardance and when i went back to normal the doc told me i can stop taking it or continue to take it. Of course i said i want to stop it.
