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

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.

Never realized how pre diabetic I was. Crazy. I've been doing more serious intermittent fasting and eating keto, carnivore, mixing it up and avoiding carbs like the plague. I have reversed so many of these! Thank you thank you!

Dropped from 225 to 190 so far too. Which is nice.

This guy ... doesn't even know he's helped some one sitting on the other side of the planet.
Thank you Doctor Berg. ✌❤🙏

I have type 2 diabetes with all these symptoms and yesterday I saw a cardiologist and he thinks I have heart blockage. I will be doing some tests and procedures coming up. Prayers are very much needed and welcomed 🙏🙏🙏

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.

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!

Very educative.

Who else got blessed with this video.

[laurneylynn]

This is the most informative 10 minutes of my life.

[stephm]

I had most of these and I'm thin. I began to deteriorate, having mini strokes, migraines, brain fog, tingling hands and feet, interrupted sleep, tmj symptoms, etc. I was skin and bones until cutting out sugar and carbs, dairy and gluten. It took about 6 months to feel better and gain weight, but 9 years later I'm feeling more healthy and energetic in my 40s than I did in my 20s. So grateful for these videos!

(Edit: I forgot to mention that my eyesight also improved. It went from -5.50 to -3.50, which was a bit frustrating over the years. I had to get them checked every few months, but now they've stabilized for 2 years.)

[NiseyNikki]

I was exercising and eating low carb and lost 50lbs. I stopped, falling back into old habits, and now I've gained it all back and have a number of these symptoms. I've got to get my act back together!

[Monditv]

Never seen a man this observant and bright, much love doctor berg

[bluedreamtenshi]

I am crying on this. Finally after many years you just summarize my problem what nobody told me never.😢😢😢😢 so many years

[Starchface]

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!

One of the biggest benefits for me when I lost over 50 lbs. was getting rid of sleep apnea. What a difference it made. Also, my eyesight. I remember my first 2 weeks of keto, it became very blurry, I was about to stop doing keto because this, but I kept going. Finally, after the 3rd week, my sight began recovering until what I have today: laser sharp vision, I can now read fine print!

[LarissaWaters-krle]

I love how all of us with these symptoms are scared and scrolling through the comments looking for reassurance

[jiml]

I went on a 6 day water fast and am now on a carnivore diet. I am thirsty all the time and I drink water with electrolytes. I also take potassium and magnesium supplements. I've lost over 25 pounds but when I started this fast, I weighed over 400 pounds. I am already walking better. My goal is to lose 150 pounds or more. I'm tired of being on deaths doorstep. I only eat one meal per day. I am losing one pound per day. We will see what happens. I have some of these diabatic symptoms but am not sure if I am a diabatic. I have to lose weight, or it will kill me.

[patriciaoreilly]

My problem was of my making, eating too many sweet things & drinking too much water after 6pm, i cut down on sweets & not drinking after 6pm & made sure i walked a lot during the day .

[lesliereynolds]

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.

[mswasabi]

15 symptoms that I've been having couldn't understand why, now I know. Thank you.

[marydomingue]

Thank you. I’ve been having quite a few of these symptoms. Especially, night sweats, that I thought was from menopause, insomnia, tiredness, etc. Much needed information.
