A member asked:
Can low blood sugar cause a feeling of fainting after eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You bet...: Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can certainly cause a general weakness feeling, unsteady, near fainting, etc. In obese individuals, this might be a pre-diabetes symptom. In a slender person, this might infer that they do not have adequate stored carbohydrates to respond to drops in blood sugar. Regardless, hypoglycemia should be evaluated by your physician so that specific counsel can be given.
