Prediabetes is commonly viewed as a condition of rising blood sugar, but new insights reveal it can also trigger sudden drops in glucose levels. According to diabetologist Dr Vijay Negalur, this dual effect stems from how the body responds to insulin resistance.
What Happens in Prediabetes
In the early stages, insulin resistance causes the pancreas to overcompensate. After eating carbohydrate-heavy meals, the body may release excess insulin, leading to a sharp decline in blood sugar a few hours later. This pattern results in reactive hypoglycemia, a form of low blood sugar that mimics diabetes symptoms.
Symptoms to Watch For
People may experience:
- Shakiness and tremors
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Sudden sweating
- Fatigue and weakness
- Irritability or mood swings
- Difficulty concentrating
Recognizing Prediabetes Early
Often asymptomatic, prediabetes can quietly progress toward Type 2 diabetes. Some individuals notice subtle signs including:
- Increased thirst and urination
- Frequent hunger despite eating
- Cravings for sugary foods
- Persistent fatigue
- Weight gain around the abdomen
How to Manage and Prevent Progression
Experts emphasize lifestyle changes as the primary defense:
- Balanced meals with complex carbs, proteins, and healthy fats
- Regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity
- Stress reduction through meditation or yoga
- Adequate sleep to regulate metabolic hormones
Monitoring blood sugar levels and consulting a healthcare provider for personalized guidance is crucial for those at risk.
