What Causes Blood Sugar Spikes?
Blood sugar may rise quickly after meals that contain a lot of sugar, sweet drinks, white bread, white rice, pastries, desserts, or other refined carbohydrates. Large portions, low fibre intake, lack of movement, poor sleep, and stress may also affect how your body responds after meals.
How To Support More Stable Blood Sugar
- Choose balanced meals with protein, fibre, and healthy fats
- Reduce sweet drinks and sugary snacks
- Walk lightly after meals when possible
- Get enough sleep
- Manage stress levels
- Avoid very large portions of refined carbohydrates
Foods That May Cause Faster Spikes
Foods and drinks such as soda, sweet tea, candy, cakes, white bread, white rice, and processed snacks may contribute to faster glucose changes in some people, especially when eaten in large amounts or without protein and fibre.
Foods That May Help With Steadier Energy
Meals with vegetables, beans, eggs, fish, chicken, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and high-fibre foods may help support steadier energy compared with meals that are mostly sugar or refined carbohydrates.
When Should You Speak To A Doctor?
Speak with a healthcare professional if you often feel extremely thirsty, urinate frequently, feel very tired, have blurry vision, unexplained weight changes, or if you are concerned about diabetes or blood sugar control.
