Brief Answer:
Reactive hypoglycemia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Niranjan and I will be answering your query.
Based on your reports, my opinion is as follows:
1. It appears to be reactive hypoglycaemia.
2. Most of the times, cause is unknown and is thought to be secondary to increased insulin sensitivity. However, there are multiple causes like hypothyroidism, alimentary hypoglycemia, renal glycosuria, etc.
3. First, a confirmation is necessary after a hyperglucidic breakfast. If it is still low, tests will be necessary for further evaluation.
4. Hope you do not have any hypoglycemia symptoms.
5. For diabetes evaluation, HbA1C level estimation will help.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
