Gastroenterologist Dr Pal has recently cautioned that many people with “normal” blood sugar reports could still be living with hidden glucose imbalances. According to him, relying only on fasting or random glucose tests can be misleading — because they reflect a momentary picture, not the daily spikes and crashes your body experiences. These fluctuations, often missed in lab reports, can silently damage organs and metabolism over time.
Dr Pal highlights five subtle signs that your blood sugar may be out of control: constant fatigue after meals, unexplained bloating or gut issues, frequent thirst or urination, sudden mood swings or anxiety, and intense cravings for sweets or carbs. He recommends paying attention to these “body clues” and opting for advanced checks like HbA1c, post-meal glucose tests, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Early lifestyle changes — such as cutting refined carbs, improving sleep, and increasing daily activity — can help you regain control before diabetes sets in.
