fasting versus post food blood sugar

[malan]

Hello,
Could anyone tell me why my fasting blood sugar level is higher than post food sugar level, even though both are within normal limits? Is there any cause for worry here, since I have a history of palpitations and the cause for it has not been diagnosed. Could the palpitations be related to the odd sugar readings?
Thanks very much.

It is called Dawn Phenomenon.

This occurs during overnight fasting when the liver releases glucose in the early morning.

How could you say he had hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia without knowing what the blood sugars are. He did state that they were in normal range. Palpitations may not even be related to blood sugar.

Thanks very much for the response, and very sorry for this delayed reply. I shall check up on reactive hypoglycemia.

Actually he is asking why his POST eating is lower than his fasting.  His phase 1 insulin response is shot so his phase 2 response is over correcting and producing too much insulin and causing lower BG that IS reactive hypoglycemia.
