Numbness in several fingers on the hands.
There are cases when a person may wake up in the morning and feel numbness in several fingers on their hands. In most cases, this symptom is not given much attention, but it should not be ignored. Numbness in the fingers, especially after sleep, can be a sign of nerve system disruption or a consequence of metabolic issues that arise when blood glucose levels are too high. This unpleasant symptom is often accompanied by a tingling sensation or weakness in the limbs. To prevent complications, it is important to monitor your condition in the morning, and if this symptom occurs frequently, it’s better to consult a specialist. If a specialist does confirm that you have diabetes, this symptom may occur from time to time. It is therefore useful to do some exercises to reduce numbness in your fingers. For example, you can start by stretching your fingers: make fists and then open your fingers, stretching them as wide as possible. Circular movements of the hands in both directions are also useful, which helps to relax the muscles.
Nausea.
When the blood glucose level is too high, the body tries to cope with this excess, which can cause various unpleasant symptoms. Unpleasant sensations such as nausea can occur in the morning after a night of sleep, as some processes in the body do not function properly at night. In addition to nausea, a person may experience weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, or even a headache. If this unpleasant condition persists and has other accompanying signs, it may be a signal that you need to be screened for diabetes. Because in case of this disease, it is important to start taking the necessary medications in time (for example, Accarb, Actos, Amaryl, Diavista).
Dry skin.
The appearance of dry skin in the morning is a process of disrupting the water-electrolyte balance. As studies show, when glucose levels are elevated, the body is unable to properly regulate certain essential processes, leading to dehydration. These changes are often accompanied by a sensation of skin tightness, cracks, or itching. If the dry skin persists despite using moisturizing products, it could signal the need to pay more attention to your condition and not ignore this symptom. In order to improve the condition of your hands, try using creams with ceramide complexes, which have the ability to restore the natural barrier of the skin.
Darkening in the eyes.
Upon opening their eyes, a person may experience symptoms such as blurred or darkened vision due to changes in blood glucose levels while they were sleeping. This occurs because sharp fluctuations in glucose levels cause swelling in the eye tissues, which affects it focusing ability. Darkening of vision is often noticed when there is a sudden change in body position, such as when quickly getting up or attempting an intense workout right after waking. Additionally, this condition may be accompanied by a ringing in the ears or dizziness. If the darkening of vision occurs repeatedly or is associated with other unpleasant sensations, it’s important to consult a specialist to determine the exact cause of this condition.
Tremors in the body.
This condition occurs as a result of an increase in glucose levels at night, which affects the nervous system, causing unpleasant sensations such as trembling of the hands, body or even legs. In addition, the appearance of such an unpleasant sensation in the body can also be the result of high insulin levels, which is often observed in metabolic disorders or diabetes. This can cause instability of blood glucose levels, which leads to various reactions in the body, including tremors. These symptoms should go away when all the indicators return to normal, but if this does not happen, it may be better to undergo additional testing to find the cause.
