itle: Post-Meal Sugar Spikes | Causes, Dangers & How to Control Them | DrPKLyfe

👨‍⚕️ Intro (0:00–0:40)
“Hi everyone, I’m Dr. Karan from DrPKLyfe.
If your blood sugar jumps high after meals — even when your fasting looks fine — you’re not alone. These are called post-meal or postprandial spikes, and they play a huge role in diabetes complications.”

🍽️ 1. What Are Post-Meal Spikes (0:40–1:20)

“When you eat carbs — especially refined ones — your sugar rises quickly.
Normally, insulin from the pancreas keeps this under control.
But in diabetes, this response is delayed or insufficient, causing a rapid glucose surge 1–2 hours after eating.”

⚠️ 2. Why They’re Dangerous (1:20–2:20)

“These spikes may last only a few hours but cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and blood vessel damage.
Studies show post-meal glucose peaks are linked to heart attacks, stroke, neuropathy, and memory decline — even if your A1c is normal.”

🔍 3. How to Detect Them (2:20–3:00)

“Your CGM or 2-hour post-meal glucose test shows them clearly.
Ideal 2-hour value: below 140 mg/dL (or 7.8 mmol/L).
Above 180 mg/dL indicates poor post-meal control.”

💡 4. Causes of Post-Meal Spikes (3:00–3:40)

Skipping breakfast or eating large dinners

High-glycemic foods (white rice, bread, sugary drinks)

Lack of protein/fiber

Late-night snacking

Improper insulin timing or dose

🌿 5. Control Strategies (3:40–4:40)

✅ Eat smaller, balanced meals
✅ Pair carbs with protein & fiber
✅ Take a short walk 10–15 minutes after meals
✅ Stay hydrated
✅ If prescribed insulin — inject 10–15 min before eating
✅ Include herbs like berberine, fenugreek, and cinnamon (as in DrPKLyfe formulas!)

🎯 Conclusion (4:40–5:00)

“Managing your post-meal spikes is just as important as lowering fasting sugar.
Stabilize your sugars — protect your heart, brain, and kidneys for life.”
