Diabetes sign: You’re exhausted
Fatigue is a classic side effect of dehydration. So if you’re peeing more often and are thirstier than usual, you might find yourself feeling weirdly wiped out, explains Elizabeth Halprin, MD, clinical director of adult diabetes at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.
You might feel zonked even if you’re still going to bed and waking up at your usual time. Getting up multiple times throughout the night—say, if you need to pee— interrupts your sleep, too, Halprin says. As a result, you end up getting less snooze time than you think.
