Reactive hypoglycemia is a condition, in which blood sugar level drops briefly after a meal. The process works like this. After meal, sugar level, shoots up rapidly. Then crashes rapidly, because of insulin, then again shoots up. This yo-yo of sugar level, puts a kind of strain, more particularly to brain. Brain goes into a kind of mildly frozen state. They call it brain-fog. This happens 30 minutes after meal and becomes normal after 1 1/2 hour.
I did a GTT. GTT also revealed a yo-yo pattern. Infact GTT was difficult. I kind of felt like crashing. 75gm of Glucose was huge glycemic load for me then.
