Reactive hypoglycaemia is when blood glucose levels go low after eating. Usually this occurs after the body releases too much insulin and most often happens 2-3 hours after eating.
Using your CGM you will see that your blood glucose levels rise after eating and rapidly drop to low levels. The symptoms of reactive hypoglycaemia are the same as regular low blood sugars such as dizziness, fatigue, sweating, irritability and increased heart rate.
In this example, user 2 had reactive hypoglycaemia after eating butter chicken.
To limit the likelihood of reactive hypoglycaemia aim for:
Balanced meals with low glycemic index carbohydrates, protein, fats and fibre
Try not to get too hungry. It is more likely that you will choose quick fixes that have a high glycemic load resulting in a glucose spike.
Try to avoid large starchy meals as this will lead to a higher glucose response and increased likelihood of an insulin surge.
