A simple fix for this is to apply a hairdryer to the glass to evaporate any water droplets that have accumulated in between the panes. Make sure to use a low-heat setting, and avoid sealings since too much heat may cause them to melt and cause further damage. Defoggers are a permanent solution for this problem.

This will resolve the issue once and for all.

Mist in double glazed windows is caused by air that gets trapped between the glass panes which is typically filled with argon gas to provide extra thermal efficiency. This air creates an insulating barrier that keeps warm air in and cold air out. If the seals aren't working, the argon can escape and cause the windows to mist.

This is typically visible in the morning, when condensation from dew forms on the cold glass. This is a common phenomenon, and is nothing to be concerned about. However, a double-glazed window may lose some of its insulation properties.
