Drinking too much water before bed can cause night urination. However, high blood sugar can lead to urinary tract infections and an increase in the frequency of urination.
2. Blurred vision

Temporary blurred vision is often due to hyperglycemia, not a need for glasses. The swelling of the lens caused by the rise in glucose levels is probably the cause.
3. Difficulty concentrating

A lack of insulin prevents the elimination of glucose from the blood, thus disrupting the functioning of the body. Fatigue, lack of concentration and dehydration can result from hyperglycemia, the body trying to eliminate excess glucose through urine.
4. Dry mouth

It is crucial to monitor recurrent infections and dysfunctions of the glands such as the thyroid, adrenals and pituitary glands. Be vigilant about pancreatic diseases and a significant rise in blood sugar.
