Check your waking glucose before guessing
If you wake up feeling unwell, check your glucose with your meter or CGM if you have one. MedlinePlus recommends recording the time, reading, food, medicines, activity, and anything unusual so your care team can see patterns. A single odd reading matters, but repeated mornings outside your personal target range deserve attention.

Notice intense thirst and frequent urination
Waking up very thirsty, with a dry mouth, or needing to urinate often can point to high blood sugar. The NHS lists thirst and peeing a lot as common symptoms of high blood sugar, especially in people with diabetes. Test your glucose if you can, drink water, and follow the plan your doctor gave you for high readings.
