after a 50 km cycle I didn t eat and woke up during night with a blood sugar of 2.3 mmols . I was nauseated and weak . it raised to 14 mmols by eating a few dates and I was fine . I am not a diabetic . am I prone to diabetes ? I am thinking of going on a pilgrimage for 3 days which involves total fasting . is this a bad idea ?
With exercise and fasting your blood sugar Chat Doctor. This does not seem to totally normal. Possibly you are secreting more than normal sugar controlling hormone insulin which lead to low sugar and there is resistance to its action, so sugar went higher than normal after food. I feel you are having Prediabetes state called IT Impaired GlucoseTolerance which should be confirmed by GTT test. If so the diet, exercise and Metformin may help you. Lastly it is not good idea to go for 3 days fasting when you have Prediabetes. You may land up in low and subsequent high sugars
