Do you drink half a bottle of water every night? An insatiable thirst, accompanied by dryness and a sticky taste in the mouth in the morning, is not a harmless symptom. It often reflects dehydration caused by hyperglycemia. Trying to compensate for fluid loss, the body triggers this intense thirst mechanism called polydipsia.
The alarm goes off, but you’re already exhausted? Constant fatigue despite a full night’s sleep may mean your cells can’t properly use glucose. As a result, you feel constantly sleep-deprived, as if your “battery” is only half charged.
Does your mouth feel like sandpaper in the morning? Xerostomia (dry mouth) is a common condition in diabetes. If left untreated, it can cause frequent awakenings and contribute to oral problems. This symptom is often caused by inadequate hydration and high blood sugar.
