Your body starts producing sugar for you to eat if you fast too long. That’s why they tell diabetics to eat or snack every 2ish hours. To keep your glucose level
It doesn’t produce a huge amount of glucose, mainly a baseline to keep your brain fed. The rest of your body just starts using different sources for food because it generally doesn’t need glucose.
Your body prefers to consume glycogen, which your liver produces from glucose. Most people’s livers store enough to go about a day if they aren’t participating in strenuous activities.
Also, diabetics are told to eat snacks throughout the day because it can be dangerous for them to eat large meals. Large meals often mean a lot of sugar, and since they either can’t produce insulin or are resistant to it, they can’t easily signal to their fat cells to store the excess energy
Is this a bunch of bots or does nobody else have blood sugar.
You don’t get sugar crashes if you don’t eat copious amounts of sugar

I get them at around 11 in the morning. I eat wholemeal bread with no sugar crunchy peanut butter for breakfast.
Maybe your trouble is the bread. Wholemeal are carbs and carbs are sugar. The sugarless peanut butter should not be causing any sugar crashes.
Caveat. Not a trained specialist here. Just someone who has been trying to sort my issues out and wanting to share.
Bread and peanut butter are both relatively large sources of sugar…
Depends on exactly what peanut butter you buy, but the popular ones do have a lot of sugar
People that are fit don’t have to worry about blood sugar.
Right, but most people don’t really know the difference between fit and thin. Thin people can eat poorly and develop diabetes, too.
Type 1 diabetes is a thing.
