The 90-Minute Crash: A Hidden Sign of Blood Sugar Trouble 👇
That wave of fatigue, irritability, or hunger shortly after eating? It might not be “just getting older” — it could be your blood sugar sending a warning.
In a metabolically healthy person, blood glucose rises gently after a meal, then gradually returns to baseline — without dramatic symptoms.
But if your system is struggling with insulin resistance or poor glucose regulation, your body may overreact to carbohydrates with a sharp spike in blood sugar — followed by a rapid drop. This “crash” can leave you feeling:
- Sleepy or unfocused - Shaky, anxious, or irritable - Hungry again far too soon
⏱️ Notice these symptoms within 2-3 hours of eating — especially after carb-heavy meals?
You may be experiencing reactive hypoglycemia — a drop in blood sugar after a spike — often overlooked in standard blood tests like fasting glucose or A1c.
One of the most telling patterns?
That 2–3 PM energy crash where your motivation tanks and cravings hit hard. It’s not about laziness — it’s your metabolism reacting to earlier glucose instability.
💡 The good news?
When people build meals around protein, fiber, and healthy fats — instead of quick-digesting carbs — these crashes often disappear. You feel more steady, focused, and resilient throughout the day.
👉 Think your post-meal symptoms might be pointing to blood sugar issues?
