My fasting n pp( after 2hrs) always in near the mentioned range. The dizziness occur immediately after eating and after15_20 minutes become normal.

You should test when you are feeling dizzy.Even a single slice of extra bread slice can spike your sugar level by as much as 30 points.Craving for sugary items is understandable,but your ppbs is at 180,why indulge in sugary items?

Test with and without good day biscuits.I would avoid good day biscuits in the morning.Instead,go for something with low glycemic index.

Consumption of carbohydrate including sugar may cause accumulation of excess glucose in the blood. This is injurious to your health and may cause diabetic complications in distant future.

Postprandial blood sugar should not exceed 140 mg/dL. The dizziness may be due to excess secretion of insulin into the blood stream and sudden decrease of blood sugar (Reactive hypoglycemia or postprandial hypoglycemia). Check your blood sugar when this symptom is felt.

Composition for Teniva-M Tablet is Metformin (500mg) + Teneligliptin (20mg).

Consult your doctor.

Do you eat sweets sometimes or always?

Not sweet but items with sweet like good day biscuits, rice in 10 o'clock etc

in reply tonita123

When you eat sugary stuff pancreas starts producing insulin and therefore sugar falls down quickly. As this happens in short time as compared to complex carbs or proteins or fats you feel dizziness.

Looking at your numbers you don't seem to be much insulin resistive but can be if you don't change your sweet eating habit.

Is it any complications of diabetic? Sir or normal phenomenon

in reply tonita123

That's normal. It's ok to have these things occasionally but you should stay away if it is turning into habit.

Please consult a good disbetologist.

Change your cookies to something like crackers n eventually try stop it altogether. A very good substitute for rice is quinoa. It tastes almost similar but is v low carb! My sugar cravings were cured by gymnema sylvestre drops. Now I don't feel like having sugary high carb things and without missing me, just little carb substitution with either high fivres or healthy fats I've brought down my sugar levels. In jan 2017 it was fasting:424. Now its fasting76/pp98. With healthy cholesterol levels too.. long live LCHFdiet.. 😊
