• The readings suggest episodic hypoglycemia, likely post-prandial (reactive) hypoglycemia.
• A value of 50 mg/dL at 3 hours after food is low.
• Fasting values 66–70 mg/dL are borderline low but can be normal in lean young adults if asymptomatic.
• Variations (87, 92, then 66) suggest diet timing/composition or prolonged gaps between meals, not diabetes.
Next Steps
1. Eat small, frequent meals (every 3–4 hours).
2. Avoid high-sugar/refined carbs; prefer complex carbs + protein.
3. Add protein and fiber to every meal (eggs, dal, nuts, vegetables).
4. Do fasting insulin, HbA1c, and if symptoms persist → 72-hr glucose monitoring / mixed meal test.
5. If symptoms like sweating, tremors, dizziness occur → consult an endocrinologist.
Health Tips
• Do not skip meals or fast for long hours.
• Avoid alcohol on an empty stomach.
• Carry a quick sugar source if symptoms occur.
• If glucose
