I tested my blood sugar with strips for a few days. One wierd thing I noticed for some meals is I’d be at 98 blood sugar or so before the meal but within 30 minutes after a moderate meal I’d be at 78 or so. Seemed really backwards.
- pjc50 8y agoDigestion uses a surprising amount of energy, this is why people tend to feel sleepy after carb-heavy meals. And diabetics need to plan carefully.
- slacka 8y ago>why people tend to feel sleepy after carb-heavy meals. No. This is well understood science. The fatigue you feel soon after eating is caused by postprandial hyperglycemia, or a “spike” in blood sugar soon after eating.[1] You can, and I have tested this after overeating carb heavy meals and that's exactly what's going on. I'm prediabetic, so I watch this carefully as I have a family history of diabetes.
