glucose crash

Energy sudden departure

A glucose crash is a rapid drop in blood sugar following a spike, typically after consuming sugary foods or simple carbohydrates.

The body overproduces insulin in response, driving blood sugar below normal levels.

Symptoms include fatigue, shakiness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating: I had a donut for breakfast and hit a glucose crash by ten.

Also called a sugar crash.
