Even with double glazing it's perfectly possible to get it. The only way to avoid it is to keep both the heating and the ventilation at a comfortable level.
What you most definitely don't want is condensation between the panes. That means the seal has gone and could be expensive to fix.
There is a likelihood of condensation around the peripheri (where there is conductivity through from inner pane to outer pane, through the contact via the separating strip), especially if the curtains are drawn, whereby there is reduced circulation past the glass - all this when outdoor temperatures are low.
