My sugar level drops to around 63 after morning tea, and I get shivering, weakness, and coldness in my lower legs. Why is this happening, and how can I prevent these low sugar episodes?

A sugar level around 63 is considered low and can cause symptoms like shivering, sweating, weakness, dizziness, hunger, and a cold or shaky feeling in the body. This may happen if you drink only tea without eating enough food, take diabetes medicine before meals, delay breakfast, or have a long gap between meals. In some people, the medicine dose may become too strong for their current eating pattern or activity level. Tea alone, especially if it has sugar but no proper nutrition, may cause blood sugar to rise briefly and then fall quickly. Eating a balanced breakfast with protein and fibre, such as eggs, sprouts, nuts, dal, or whole grains, may help keep sugar levels more stable. Avoid skipping meals and try to eat at regular times every day. Checking your sugar during symptoms and maintaining a record can help your doctor understand the pattern better. Carrying glucose biscuits, fruit juice, or candy may help during sudden low sugar episodes. Talk to your doctor if low sugar keeps happening, especially if you feel faint, confused, develop sweating repeatedly, or notice severe weakness after taking your diabetes medicine.
