4 signs of high blood sugar after meals

HƯƠNG SƠN (THEO TRANG XINHUA) |

High blood sugar after meals for a long time not only increases the risk of diabetes but also affects cardiovascular health and many other organs.

Sleepiness, fatigue after eating

If you often feel tired, sluggish or sleepy after meals, this may be a sign that blood sugar rises rapidly and then drops suddenly. This condition is often encountered when meals contain too much refined starch or sweets.

Dry mouth, abnormal thirst

When blood sugar levels rise, the body tends to excrete excess sugar through urine, making patients prone to dehydration. If you are frequently thirsty even after eating or have to drink water continuously, you should not be subjective.

Fasting up after meals

Many people feel hungry after only 1-2 hours of full eating. Experts say that when blood sugar rises too quickly and then drops sharply, the body will send a hunger signal, causing patients to tend to eat more, causing blood sugar to continue fluctuating.

Dizziness, reduced concentration

Post-eating hyperglycemia can also cause patients to feel dizzy, difficulty concentrating, or reduced alertness. This symptom easily appears in people who regularly eat too many foods with high glycemic index but low in fiber and protein.

If the above symptoms appear frequently, people should go for blood sugar check-ups for advice and timely treatment.
