What can I do about my husband who gets out of bed at night, for example to go to the bathroom?

Or kitchen for a drink of water then falls.He then doesn't remember getting out of bed until after he falls? Mornings he is sleepy headed till he has coffee and a snack (he is a diabetic) then seem to be ok?What can I do about my husband who gets out of bed at night, for example to go to the bathroom?
Check his blood sugar before bed. If it is low have him have a snack before bed. If it is high but he takes insulin at night it may be getting low in the middle of the night thus the falling, memory loss and his appearing fine after a snack in the morning. Contact his doctor and see if a adjustment in medications or insulin is in order. Keep track of his night time blood sugars until to see the physician and see if a trend develops. Also take his blood sugar when you realize his has fallen, before he has coffee and snack and see what it is than and report that as well.What can I do about my husband who gets out of bed at night, for example to go to the bathroom?
A good short-term solution might be for you to sleep on the side of the bed that's closer to the wall. That might seem flip, but hear me out. Until the doctors come up with a solution to his trouble, he's going to continue getting out of bed periodically. Do you want him crawling over you every time?
He is a sleep walker but since he is a diabetic his body is weak therefore he falls and the impact wakes him. take him to a Doctor and/or a psychologist because his restrictions with food maybe what takes him to the kitchen
Tie a small cord in his wrist and connect it to a device that would trigger an alarm so that no only he would get alerted but also you. Such devices are available in the market.
that sounds like sleep walking, when he falls that wakes him up and then he doesnt know how, why, or when he got out of bed. He should go to a doctor.
You should talk to a doctor, just to be safe
Take him to a Dr.
