In this video I'm going to talk about some signs and symptoms of high blood sugar that might occur while you’re sleeping. <br /><br />1. Frequent urinating <br />This is known as nocturia and occurs when your kidneys remove excess sugar from your blood.<br /><br />2. Excessive thirst <br />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. <br /><br />3. Restless legs syndrome <br />Excess sugar depletes vitamin B1. Vitamin B1 deficiency causes lactic acid buildupand a lack of oxygen in the legs. This can also be related to magnesium deficiency. <br /><br />4. Peripheral neuropathy<br />This condition causes burning, pain, or numbness on the bottom of the feet. Benfotiamine combined with alpha lipoic acid is a great remedy. <br /><br />5. Cramps in lower legs and feet<br />Too much sugar in the blood can cause a magnesium deficiency and calcium buildup. Magnesium glycinate supplements can help, and can also improve sleep.<br /><br />6. Excessive sweating <br />This usually occurs in the face, neck, or upper part of the body. High blood sugar causes sympathetic dominance, whichcauses a person to be in a constant state of fight or flight. <br /><br />7. Sleep apnea <br />This usually occurs because a person has high levels of insulin. <br /><br />8. Delayed sleep <br />High levels of sugar delay the release of melatonin.<br /><br />9. Gastric reflux <br />High blood sugar can affect the autonomic nervous system that controls the valve on the top of the stomach, causing GERD.<br /><br />10. Nightmares/vivid dreams <br />This is typically related to a neurotransmitter problem caused by a deficiency in vitamin B1, which is depleted by high blood sugar.11. High blood pressure <br />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.<br /><br />12. Teeth grinding <br />The activation of the sympathetic nervous system puts a person into a state of stress while they’re sleeping, causing teeth grinding. <br />
