A sugar crash or glucose crash is the term used to refer to fatigue after consuming a large quantity of carbohydrates also known as reactive hypoglycemia. It is variously described as a sense of tiredness lethargy irritation or hangover although the effects can be less if one has undertaken a lot of physical activity within the next few hours after consumption.The alleged mechanism for the feeling of a crash is correlated with an abnormally rapid rise in blood glucose after eating.
