Eating carbs with protein, fat, and fiber can help promote more stable blood sugar. How you eat also matters, and eating more slowly and early in the day can prevent blood sugar spikes.
Low-carbohydrate diet, frequent small meals Reactive hypoglycemia , postprandial hypoglycemia , or sugar crash is a term describing recurrent episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia occurring within four hours [ 1 ] after a high carbohydrate meal in people with and without diabetes. [ 2 ]
Graph depicting blood sugar change during a day with three meals. The glycemic (glycaemic) index (GI; / ɡ l aɪ ˈ s iː m ɪ k / [1]) is a number from 0 to 100 assigned to a food, with pure glucose arbitrarily given the value of 100, which represents the relative rise in the blood glucose level two hours after consuming that food. [2]
Foods are scored from 0 to 100, with pure glucose, at 100, representing the fastest blood sugar spike. Foods with a high GI (above 70) are quickly digested and can cause rapid rises in blood sugar ...

When individuals take insulin without needing it, to purposefully induce hypoglycemia, this is referred to as surreptitious insulin use or factitious hypoglycemia. [ 3 ] [ 2 ] [ 24 ] Some people may use insulin to induce weight loss, whereas for others this may be due to malingering or factitious disorder , which is a psychiatric disorder . [ 24 ]
“Tea can enhance the activity of insulin, the hormone that helps lower blood sugar,” says sports nutritionist Marie Spano, M.S., RD. Research has found that black, green and oolong teas can ...
In non-diabetic patients, there is a modest increase in insulin secretion just before dawn which compensates for the increased glucose being released from the liver to prevent hyperglycemia. However, studies have shown that diabetic patients fail to compensate for this transiently increased blood glucose release, resulting in hyperglycemia.
