Xerostomia , or dry mouth, is a common symptom of diabetes. It can cause repeated nighttime awakenings and can lead to cavities or oral infections if left untreated. Insufficient hydration and high blood sugar are often the causes.
Is your sleep often restless or interrupted?
Insomnia, frequent awakenings, unrefreshing sleep… these are all disorders that can be linked to nighttime fluctuations in blood sugar. These fluctuations prevent the body from fully resting, affecting mood, concentration, and energy the next day.

Diabetes is a silent disease , but its effects can be felt long before an official diagnosis. Paying attention to the quality of your sleep can help detect an insidious metabolic imbalance.
Regular medical monitoring , a balanced diet , physical activity and a healthy lifestyle remain the best ways to prevent and manage this disease. If you recognize yourself in several of these signs, don’t wait: consult your doctor.
