What Do These Blood Sugar Levels Indicate?
My wifes blood sugar level was 50, 2 hours after dinner. after the test she ate an apple and a small piece of chocolate. When she went to bed her reading was 52. I gave her a glass of orange juice and 5 minutes later the reading was 64. Is this okay ? Thank you. email: YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Your history suggests me that your wife is hypoglycaemic any sugar value below 72mg/dl considered to be hypoglycaemic, so she needs to increase her sugar content by eating more frequently and increasing the amount of sugar consumption. Hypoglycemia is more dangerous than diabetes as the sudden drop in blood glucose level can harm the brain more than an increase in the sugar level.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Medhavi Agarwal
