Can low blood sugar cause sleep walking?

  • I'm diabetic and my family tells me sometimes i sleepwalk then later they test my blood sugar and its low. about 2 years ago at diabetes camp one of the girls in my cabin sleepwalked but woke up when she stepped outside in the snow then they tested her blood sugar and she was low. i was wondering if low blood sugar can make u sleep walk?

  • Answer:

    your control over your actions go for a toss. most of the actions become involuntary. yes it could induce sleep walking . If blood sugars are low for considerable amount of time there could be scope for damaging our brain vessels.

I've been Diabetic for 19 years and I've never heard of hypoglycemia causing sleep walking. As mentioned above, it may just be that your blood sugar goes low, so your body wakes you up to get some sugar/carbohydrates into you, but by the time your body-alarm goes off, your sugars may already be so low that you don't know what you are doing. Possibly you are trying to help yourself but are unable to because of the sugar low. If it happens frequently, you should talk to your doctor/endocrinologist about the possibility of adjusting any medication you are on so that you you don't have lows in the middle of the night as that can be very dangerous. In fact, you may want to talk to your Doc/Endo anyways about the possibility that your body may not be detecting sugar lows before they happen. Cheers and Happy Holidays

Anything is possible. My wife is diabetic and when her sugar gets low she doesn't know what she is doing.
