Cant Hold Urine
Urine for those with diabetes may be concentrated due to reduced amounts of insulin in the blood. This increases the risk of developing infection and kidney problems.
Therefore, patients should empty their bladder right before they go to bed every night so that urine can flow into the bladder overnight instead of being reabsorbed by the body. Moreover, it is recommended that patients don't hold urine or make frequent trips to the bathroom before sleeping because this keeps your electrolytes too high. It is best not only for your health but also for your kidneys if you get up frequently during sleep (for example, if you have an urge to urinate).
A healthy individual can go to sleep within five minutes of urinating. However, for those with diabetes, it may be beneficial to remain awake for another ten minutes after urination.
In the morning, make sure you drink a lot of fluids so your kidneys can flush out any by-products that remained in your blood overnight. Additionally, when sleeping, it is recommended patients check their sugar levels before sleeping because of the risk of Hypoglycaemia with poor blood sugar control or significant blood sugar fluctuations throughout the night. However, there is a possibility that patients may wake up and have unexpected hypoglycaemic episodes, but this is uncommon (around 1-2%). Furthermore, it is essential to monitor blood glucose levels before sleep and take precautions to prevent Hypoglycaemia if you find yourself having a hypo at night.
The best way to deal with blood sugar issues while sleeping is to check your blood sugar levels before going to bed and perform fingerstick testing (for example, Blood Glucose Monitors (BGMs) or continuous glucose monitors (CGM) records) every three hours throughout the night. The fingerstick tests should be performed before going back into a deep sleep. For this reason, it is recommended that they are done about fifteen minutes apart.
Furthermore, it is recommended that patients use an effective method of weight loss to lowering blood sugar levels (for example, a low carbohydrate diet that leads to loss of body fat, lifestyle modification through physical activity and medication) if their blood sugar levels are not under control.

It is important to note that Hypoglycaemia can occur at any time of the day or night. It can happen especially if a patient has not eaten enough or poorly controls their blood sugar through medication, lifestyle modification through exercise and weight loss, and/or has over-the-counter medicines that increase insulin resistance.

The main objective of this article is to discuss methods of effectively treating diabetes while sleeping and giving tips and information on how to deal with abnormal urination while sleeping. The methods of effectively treating diabetes while sleeping involves monitoring blood glucose levels before going to bed and every three hours throughout the night, as well as making frequent trips to the bathroom (either at night or in the morning) if you do not feel like you have emptied your bladder. As for tips for urinating during sleep, it is recommended that patients drink plenty of fluids before going to bed and after urinating. At night time, it is also recommended that patients drink liquids containing electrolytes (for example, Gatorade) because lack of fluids can cause dehydration, leading to night time urination. However, it is essential to note that the best way to prevent urination while sleeping is to not drink beverages containing caffeine because these can cause spontaneous urination.
