If peak insulin secretion is delayed, abnormalities in blood glucose after a meal and before the next meal can occur. The peak insulin secretion should match the peak blood glucose in order to keep the body’s normal blood glucose steady. If insulin secretion is delayed, when the postprandial blood glucose peak occurs, there is no corresponding insulin peak to occur, and postprandial blood glucose will rise. With a delayed insulin peak, the insulin peak occurs before the next meal, but the glucose peak has already passed, which then causes a drop in blood glucose, resulting in a pre-meal hypoglycemia.
