Night dehydration

Is there anyway to overcome night dehydration and not wake up with the feeling a cat has spent the night in your mouth?

Do you take a bottle of water to bed so you can drink through the night? Its a hard one though as you will then have a restless night, a drip would be the perfect idea but not possible (unless you work in a hospital) 🙂

Do you test your blood sugars? This symptom usually means your blood sugars are high. If you get blood sugars down to normal levels you should feel better.

Sorry to hear you’ve been feeling dehydrated @Rodgearing

It’s particularly tricky in the current warm weather isn’t it - and even more important to keep well hydrated.

If you have a BG meter, it could help you understand whether part of the dry mouth is related to your levels. However there can be other causes too such as snoring or sleep apnea, so it could be worth asking your GP if things don’t improve?

I have terrible night dehydration, my blood sugar levels are now usually within the permitted range yet instill drink between 4 and 5 of the 500ml bottles every night, even more during these hot spells. When I told my GP he just said I need to cut down on my water intake at night, easier said than done though.

I'm the opposite, mouth always feel like it's full of saliva. It was like it up until early last year, then stopped (I thought great!) and in the last few months it's come back.
