    If you raised the issue, hopefully they considered it, but they can’t see it on a routine visit. The two main ways we check for it would be:

    • an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), where you get serial blood sugar measurements for two hours - before and after drinking a specific amount of glucose on an empty stomach in the morning.

    • A blood test called HbA1c which correlates to your average blood sugar over the last 3 months.

    It could be, for sure, but nevertheless should be checked out. The meme specifically says 4AM, if you wake up dry in rhe morning its less worrisome, waking up at night to drink is more concerning.
