3 signs of spikes in blood sugar after eating that many people often ignore

HƯƠNG GIANG (T/H) |

Many people do not recognize the 3 warning signs of high blood sugar after eating, leading to the risk of diabetes and serious complications.

After meals, increased blood sugar is a normal phenomenon, but if it increases too high and suddenly, the body will have specific reactions that many people often ignore.

First, fatigue and sleepiness immediately after eating. When blood sugar levels increase suddenly, the pancreas secrete insulin to lower blood sugar, sometimes causing blood sugar to drop too much, causing a feeling of fatigue and sleepiness. This is a common sign, recognized by the Mayo Clinic medical website as a manifestation of an imbalance of blood sugar after eating.

Second, feeling thirsty and urinating more than usual. High blood sugar makes the kidneys work harder to excrete excess glucose through urine, leading to dehydration and increased thirst. The American Diabetes Association warns that this is a common symptom in people with uncontrolled hyperglycaemia.

Third, hunger and cravings even after eating. When insulin lowers blood sugar too quickly after a spike, the body will stimulate hunger again, making it easier for the patient to overeat. According to Healthline, if this condition occurs continuously, it will cause difficulty in controlling weight and blood sugar.

Note: If you often experience these signs after meals, you should see a doctor and get a blood sugar test to detect early and prevent dangerous complications of diabetes.
