The Causes of Foot Pain
Diabetes
Because of the damage to the blood vessel in the feet caused by diabetes, excessive foot swelling and foot pain can be the main causes of night walking.
People with diabetes experience lower blood sugar when they wake up, which has to do with the lack of insulin in their blood supply. Normally, blood sugar levels increase after you stop eating carbs.
However, when your blood sugar levels don’t increase on its own, it’s called hypoglycemia.
People with diabetes tend to fall asleep quickly, at a low blood sugar level. This can lead to sleepwalking, or waking up in the middle of the night in the middle of the night.
Painful, throbbing, swollen or painful feet and toes
Blurry vision and night vision issues
Slow breathing or irregular heartbeat
Panting or shaky muscles or movement.
Some of the causes of hypoglycemia include excessive body weight gain, obesity, a lack of protein, and an overactive metabolism.
Obesity is a common cause of hypoglycemia in humans, as most people are overweight or obese. The condition also occurs in some cats and dogs.
Overactive Metabolism
Many people are familiar with overactive metabolism, which is caused by a deficiency in essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are crucial to the function of the heart, the immune system and to help keep the blood vessels healthy.
There are many foods with high levels of essential fatty acids, which is why it’s important to get them in the right amounts.
Certain medications and supplements can also cause an overactive metabolism such as some pain relievers. Also, some drugs used to control blood sugar such as certain antidepressants, may worsen an existing hypoglycemia.
The body produces too much insulin when you eat carbs, which causes an overactive metabolism. Some people with high insulin levels also may have diabetes.
In addition to the above, some people with high glucose levels also may have hypoglycemia.
Sleep Deficiencies
Some people may have excessive sleepiness when they wake up. This can cause a lack of energy and also a lack of sleep.
People who sleep too much, or are too tired, are at greater risk for night walking. It’s important to get more hours of sleep every night, instead of sleeping less.

Some medications can cause an excess amount of sleepiness, including some sedatives, stimulants or sleeping pills. These drugs can be found in all forms, such as tablet, nasal spray, inhaler and solution.

Nuts and seeds contain fiber, which helps the body to absorb vital nutrients in the diet.
Nuts and seeds are also rich in natural phytonutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
Other factors that may contribute to night walking are allergies to nuts and other seeds.
Other effects of diabetes
Diabetes affects the circulation of blood in the legs, and may result in blood sugar levels that are too low.
The result is that the circulation of blood to the feet and toes is reduced and the feet have blood clots in the veins, which can lead to foot pain.
An estimated 14.6 million U.S. people over 65 years of age have diabetes, and more than one in five Americans is diabetic.
It’s estimated that 1 out of 4 Americans with diabetes does not get their medication.
When night walking, diabetics have a tendency to sleep in different areas of the body, so it’s important to restock the legs while walking so that they can get more blood circulation.
