What are Sugar spikes? Sugar spikes refer to a sudden rise in blood sugar after meals.

This is very common in Pre-diabetes, Insulin resistance, and Diabetes.

Symptoms: * Sleepiness / heaviness after meals * Fatigue, mood swings, cravings * Blurred vision * Frequent urination / dry mouth * Sugar >180 mg/dL after 2 hours

⚠️ Repeated spikes increase the risk to nerves, eyes, kidneys, and heart.

🎯 What to do? (Simple but effective) * Eat fiber/protein first → sugar rises slowly * Walk for 10–15 minutes after meals * Sleep + stress control * Avoid sugary drinks, packaged food * Start post-meal sugar tracking

Understanding the pattern is the first step. Change is seen only after tracking.

Sugar spikes = rapid rise after meals. Repeated spikes damage nerves, eyes, kidneys, heart. Small habits + tracking can control it.
