5 Diabetes Symptoms That Appear at Night

Diabetes is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and its symptoms can manifest themselves in a variety of ways. While some symptoms may be noticeable during the day, others tend to become more noticeable at night. Recognizing these nighttime signs can help you or your loved ones seek prompt medical attention and manage the condition effectively. Here are five common diabetes symptoms that appear after dark.

1. Frequent Urination (Nocturia)
One of the hallmarks of diabetes is frequent urination, which often worsens at night. High blood sugar levels cause the kidneys to work overtime, filtering excess glucose from the bloodstream and resulting in more urine.
