Drinking too much water before bed can cause nighttime urination. However, high blood sugar can lead to urinary tract infections and an increased frequency of urination.
2. Blurred vision

Temporary blurred vision is often due to hyperglycemia, not a need for glasses. Swelling of the lens caused by elevated glucose levels is likely the culprit.
3. Difficulty concentrating

A lack of insulin prevents the body from removing glucose from the blood, thus disrupting its functions. Fatigue, poor concentration, and dehydration can result from hyperglycemia, as the body tries to eliminate excess glucose through urine.
