Levels | Fix This Health Mistake: Stop Letting Your Blood Sugar Levels Spike and Drop | Dr. Casey Means @levels | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Levels co-founder Casey Means, MD, explains.
📈 Blood sugar spikes are often followed by crashes. These crashes are referred to as reactive hypoglycemia, and they can lead to energy and mood slumps that affect your day. They can also lead to cravings for high-carbohydrate foods.
🫠 Understanding reactive hypoglycemia:
- When you eat a meal that spikes your blood sugar, the spike is followed by a large insulin release.
- The insulin release tells cells to soak up the glucose.
- Then blood sugar plummets in response to the insulin surge.
- This reactive hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can leave you feeling tired, moody, anxious, jittery, nauseous, and more.
✅ What you can do:
- Aim to keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day.
- Wear a continuous glucose monitor to learn which foods tend to cause you spikes.
