A glucose rise to 180 mg/dL is linked to glycation, oxidative stress, inflammation, reactive hypoglycemia, immune suppression, endothelial dysfunction, and reduced immune function. Large glucose spikes can create short-term physiological problems even in insulin-sensitive people. Reactive hypoglycemia after a spike and crash can make a person feel unwell. Advanced glycation end products accumulate over time and are associated with aging. Glucose spikes are linked to reductions in testosterone and immune function.
