What Causes Dip In Fasting Blood Sugar Level?

Hello, I indulged in unhealthy diet during a picnic. After 3 days I found higher sugar levels of 180 fasting and 243 mg/dl PP. However within 10 days thereafter average fasting sugar level (12 readings) fell to 108 mg/dl, without any medication but with low carbohydrates diet. Am I diabetic ? OR it was just flash high of sugar level. Currently my fasting sugar level is 96 mg/dl. should I continue low carb diet. during last 3 months due to low carb diet I lost 13 kgs (from 93 kgs to 80 kgs)- please suggest. My BMI is 30.2

Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

One higher blood sugar value can't be diagnosed as diabetes. Your blood sugar values are absolutely normal. Keep practicing same diet, and try to reduce your BMI to less than 25 by reducing weight.

Keep checking blood sugar levels every 6 months. If you find any increase, then consult a local diabetologist for further management. keep exercising. stay active.

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
