Hello, I am also new in this forum, not in diabetes.I am 43 years old and I began about 5 years ago.
I only take a pill every night after dinner.
I do enough sport (like 2 hours a day).And the truth that with sport and maintaining a healthy diet in fruits and vegetables and not eating any fat is maintained.
But I have a question.Lately at night I always have the dry voca and wake up as 4 or 5 times to drink water.And when I get up in the morning, I don't have such high levels (136, 155, 140).
There if someone could give me an answer or advise me about this.
Thank you very much to all and encourage.

Hello Juan Manuel, welcome to the forum !!!
Have you done any glycemia at night?You may spend the night with high levels, and go down as it progresses.I would measure myself at least 1 time to rule out some hyperglycemia.
Greetings.

It is possible that thirst comes because you do not hydrate enough during physical exercise ... My work is physical and there are days that at 2 or 3 hours after working I am still drinking a lot of water.

Hello Owash again.And thank you very much for the help.
Well, since I read your message I do not stop drinking water throughout the day even if it is not thirsty, and these two last nights have a long time.

Thank you and we will continue with the fight and much encourage everyone.

I imagine you know because you will have seen videos etc.That one of the mechanisms that the body uses to dilute blood glucose levels is to extract water from cells.Something better known is that one of the mechanisms to expel sugar from the body is through abundant urine.Both things dehydrate, and from there the importance of hydrating.

Good that you have worked for water and you are better.

Also, you may want to lower those glucose levels a little more.
