Feeling Dizzy And Light Headed After Eating Sweets. Diabetes?
I get my blood taken evet year and my glucose level always reads 70 or75. Just 2 weeks ago it was 70. I m 5 2 and weigh 106lbs. I just finished eating something sweet after my meal and became very lighted and slightly dizzy. The same thing happened to me yesterday. I ate something sweet and it happened again. What s going on?
If these readings are in mg/dl then these are dangerously low and no wonder you are feeling dizzy and light headed.
There can be several reasons: most importantly, are you on any medication to lower glucose levels? If yes, these need to be reviewed by your Specialist
If not, then you need to see an Endocrinologist to ascertain why your sugar levels drop so rapidly. The important thing to exclude is whether insulin secretion or levels are rising rapidly due to a pancreatic problem for which the sugar or glucose level is dropping.
Best Wishes.
