A member asked:
I get dizzy during or right after a meal where i eat more sugar than usual (eg a piece of cake or a cookie). should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Probably not. You don't usually feel high blood sugar unless its super high. Your body is just probably making a little extra Insulin to compensate for the blood sugar spike. This will make you feel a bit shaky and even dizzy. If you want to be sure, check your blood sugar when you are feeling the dizziness.
