blood sugar crash

Sudden energy drain

A blood sugar crash is a rapid drop in glucose levels, causing symptoms like shakiness, confusion, irritability, and fatigue.

It typically follows a spike from eating sugary or high-carbohydrate foods, then plummeting when insulin overcompensates: I had a donut for breakfast and hit a blood sugar crash by ten.

Also called a sugar crash.
