I may wake feeling very warm, but without excessive sweating
I have CGM alarms set is I go higher than 140 at night. I have had some highs below 220 bg at night however and no sweating.
I answered no but I do moderately sweat and wake up with higher glucose. But never excessive. That probably happened while testing urine!
I feel hot but not sweaty and Iām extra restless when my bg is higher than normal.
I said “unsure” but may be a “no”. I have never been aware of excessive sweating while sleeping. But, I don’t get too many highs during the night. Yes, maybe I’m a “no.” š
I don’t sweat when I’m high, only with lows.
Same here. When I wake up hot, I am low.
Leg cramps
Increase your potassium intake by eating bananas. Donāt forget to stretch hamstrings and calf muscles. See yoga asanas or Runners World.
About 75-80% of the time, I wake up in the morning with my undershirt very wet. My CGM doesn’t show highs or lows. My current endo can’t explain it. I had a previous one put me in the hospital to try to check my sugars directly at about 3 AM. The problem was the nursing staff didn’t understand and kept waking me every 30 minutes for vitals. So it’s still a mystery. BTW my A1C is below 5.5 with no lows.
I thought I was the only one, and it can happen during the daytime too as if I cannot regulate my body temperature with normal thyroid levels.
BTW – A1C 4.7
my sleeping t-shirt is almost dripping wet, yet only when I experience lows
Only when the a/c is turned off.
I experience heavy sweating only when my blood glucose is extremely low.
Far more often it’s lows that cause the sweating. Fortunately, since switching to Tandem’s Control IQ I’m rarely experiencing severe lows or highs during sleep.
Excessive full body perspiration, followed by cold & clammy shivering sweats only when I am low – whether I am sleeping or not. And of course in brutally hot weather extremes – but hot weather sweating is different from what I experience when sweating from hypoglycemia. And then of course there was sweating during menopause years causing me to often ask myself, “Am I having a hot flash or hypoglycemia? Or both??? – again, a different kind of sweating. Can’t say that I ever noticed or observed sweating during sleep because of elevated BG levels.
No, I sweat when I’m low
What is a high glucose level? I think we would all agree that below 70 is low. I consider 100 – 125 as high and anything above 125 is hair on fire territory. In that context no I don’t sweat from a high.
Not to my knowledge and rarely occurs. Lows on the other hand I sweat profusely, a real fortunately hasnāt happen in a long time as well. Thank god for CGM and my semi smart pump.
Quite the oppositeā¦
Cold sweats when below 50 while sleeping.
And Iām almost never high while sleeping anyway. Usually hover around 90-130 while sleeping.
I sweat extensively at any time of day with high and low blood sugars. The difference is I am finding I experience nausea with the severe lows or fast dropping blood sugars.
I donāt sweat, but if my blood sugar goes above 140 mg/dL while sleeping, Iāll have a headache in the morning. A high alarm set at 130 prevents that from happening.
Not with high but yes with low blood sugars
Sadly, with peri menopause, it is quite apparent. While it can be distracting and off putting, it is one more way for me to recognize that my blood sugar is rising and I can react accordingly to prevent a high blood sugar.
For the first time in a long time, my BG was high overnight recently – and I just found I was warm (but not to the point of sweating).
I sweat with lows, not highs. I seldom have any out-of-range sugars during the night.
