Reactive Hypoglycemia
Reactive hypoglycemia is a post-meal glucose crash after spikes—often eased with protein, fiber, and smaller refined-carb portions.
Reactive hypoglycemia is a blood-sugar dip one to three hours after a high-carb meal—shakiness, hunger, and fog that follow a spike. Pairing carbs with protein, fiber, and smaller portions smooths the curve; ruling out medical causes matters if symptoms are severe or frequent.
CGM can illustrate patterns without guessing.
Common questions
-
Does reactive hypoglycemia mean diabetes?
Not necessarily—many people see dips from meal composition alone. Persistent or severe symptoms deserve clinician review and appropriate testing.
