Dr Parul Khurana, Consultant Physician, Internal Medicine, RG Hospitals, Gagan Vihar (Delhi) says, “When we eat food, particularly carbohydrates, they are broken down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. In response, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps the body take up and utilise this glucose for energy. Therefore, some variation in blood sugar levels throughout the day is completely normal.”

She adds that when blood sugar levels become very high, remain elevated for prolonged periods, or rise repeatedly, it becomes a cause for concern.
