What Causes Low Blood Sugar Levels After Ingestion?
MY SUGAR LEVEL IS LOW AFTER HAVING FOOD. FASTING SUGAR IS PERFECT BUT AFTER TAKING FOOD IT IS DIPPING. I HAVE DONE ALL TESTS INCLUDING G.T.T. AND RESULTS ARE SUGAR F 93 AND 1/2 HOUR AFTER TAKING 75 GM GLUCOSE IT IS 105, 1 HR.-76, 1.5 HR.-75, 2 HR. -75, 2.5 HR.-68, 3 HR.-67. INSULIN FASTING IS 4.9. C-PEPTIDE TEST IS .76 (NORMAL RANGE 1.10 -5.0). ALL OTHER TESTS LIKE LFT, KFT,ESR, CBC, THYROID, U/SOUND WHOLE ABDOMEN ARE NORMAL. DOCTORS ARE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE EXACT CAUSE. WHEN MY SUGAR LEVEL GOES DOWN I FEEL ALL SYMPTOMS OF LOW BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL. PLEASE ADVICE WHAT CAN BE THE EXACT CAUSE OF THIS KIND OF A PROBLEM.

Dear sir i can understand your concern
in my opinion the reason for low sugar might be due to excessive insulin secretion.
this condition is called as reactive hyperglycemia.
this kind of condition is seen in very early stage of diabetes due to insulin resistance.
Excessive abdominal fat is the main reason to develop insulin resistance.
but to confirm this diagnosis i need to look in to your physical profile like height and weight for further discussion.
