Is drooling in your sleep a sign of diabetes?

Beta, sleep drooling is mostly due to sleeping position or block in the nose. You can try steam inhalation with a drop of eucalyptus oil before sleeping. But if you have extreme thirst or frequent urination, get a fasting sugar test done.

Oh god, I googled this last year and got so scared of diabetes! Actually, it was just my sleeping position on my side. I changed my pillow and it stopped. Don't stress out unnecessarily.

I was reading up on sleep patterns yesterday and found drooling is usually linked to sinus blocking or sleeping on your side. Didn't see any connection to blood sugar levels in standard articles.

No direct link between just drooling and diabetes. Usually diabetes symptoms are dry mouth, frequent urination, and constant thirst. If you have those, get an HbA1c test done.

My grandmother used to say drooling means digestion is weak, but my doctor confirmed it is just deep muscle relaxation. If you have diabetes in your family history, getting a routine checkup is always safer.

There is no strong medical link between sleep drooling and diabetes. However, if you are experiencing other signs like sudden weight changes, it is best to consult a general physician for blood tests.

I used to feel so embarrassed about waking up with wet sheets and kept worrying it was a major health issue. It took me a long time to accept it is just a normal biological reflex. You are not alone.

My son drools so much on his pillow when he is exhausted from school. It's not diabetes, just sleeping with his mouth slightly open. Try using a firmer pillow to keep the head elevated.

If drooling meant diabetes, half of India sleeping in local trains would be diabetic by now! It is just our mouth staying relaxed while we dream of hot jalebis. Calm down.
