Troubleshooting your blood sugars: Reactive Hyperglycemia (Somoygi Effect)
It happens all the time: We go a little too long without eating, or skip a meal because we are occupied, or go to sleep without dinner or an evening snack. The blood sugar when we skip a meal begins to drop. If you don't know to correct a low blood sugar, sometimes your body will try to correct it for you, and you may see a high blood sugar reading even though you didn't eat anything.
