no there is a small surge after eating carbohydrate as it is digested to produce glucose, fructose, lactose - insulin is released as a homeostatic mechanism. Occasionally insulin can produce a relative hypoglycemia kown as the Somogyi effect

What effect does eating have on blood glucose level?
Eating any food will increase glucose levels in the blood. Eating simple sugars will make the level rapidly peak and then crash. The best is to eat complex carbs and proteins so that the level is more or less stable.
Predict when you would expect to find high levels of insulin in a person's blood and when you would expect to find high levels of glucagon in a person's blood?
after eating carbohydrates of certain kinds like whole wheat the carbs are said to break into sugars and the body responds by increasing insulin so after eating whole wheat bread.
Why eat protein with high blood sugar?
High blood sugar is caused by the body's inability to convert glucose to energy. Glucose enters the body from foods rich in carbohydrates. If you are having high blood sugar issues, you are best off eating foods that do not contain carbohydrates, such as proteins. Therefore - in order to have the best chance at normal blood sugar levels, stay away from carbs. http://ezinearticles.com/?Normal-Blood-Glucose-Levels---What-Are-Normal-Blood-Sugar-Levels?&id=2410593
What will happen shortely after you eat a carbohydrate rich meal?
After eating food/meal the blood sugar will spike for up to 2 hours and then work its way back down to a fasting state. Carbs do turn to sugar and if to much carbs are taken into the body this can raise the blood sugar levels too.
How do you restore blood sugar levels if its too low?
What you'd have to do is check your blood sugar level, then consume carbs in order to raise your blood sugar level, such as juice or candies.
When eating six meals a day does it take a while for your body to adjust and is it normal to feel like your blood sugar drops even quicker between meals?
Generally, eating six meals a day instead of just three ensures that your blood sugar does NOT drop between meals. I'm wondering what your symptoms are when you say it "feels" like your blood sugar is dropping. If you went from eating junk food to eating healthy six meals, you could be going through temporary food withdrawal. Your body may be ajusting to less sugar, caffeine, etc. in the form of dizziness, headaches, etc. I'm not sure if you're on a new diet, etc. but eating protein and carbs together maintains blood sugar (the carbs maintain the blood sugar and the protein digests slower so it maintains the level of carbs and sugar for a longer period of time -- so crackers and cheese will maintain your blood sugar levels longer than just crackers alone).
Why do you go dizzy and feel weak not long after eating and feel like you need to eat again?
It depends what you ate. Ideally, complex carbs will be the best basis for a meal. They release energy slowly and so will maintain your energy levels for the day. High amounts of sugar and low carbs are likely to cause what you described, as they cause a blood suger peak that then drops below normal levels causing fatigue, dizziness and ultimately hunger. I'd therefore suggest checking what you eat. :) P.S. Complex carbs are generally wholewheat carbs such as brown bread, pasta & rice, oats, potatoes and such likes.
Will hamburger raise your blood sugar levels?
The meat itself no, the condiments, cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoa, etc are neglible but the bread does have carbs
Why does my energy drain eating low carb and gain weight eating carbs?
Your energy drains when you do not eat carbs because carbs are energy-boosters. You gain weight when you eat carbs because you are not burning their energy off.
What happens to an athletes blood sugar level?
As with most everyone, exercise causes carbohydrates to be absorbed in the tissue cells. The greater absorption, the lower level of carbs in the bloodstream. Not only does exercise lower blood sugar, but dehydration can occur, causing levels to become out of control. With regular fluid intake, a non-diabetic's body usually adjusts for changes in blood sugar. Insulin will change stored body fat into carbs to be burnt at a continuing level.
Why after eating a meal containing carbohydrates does your blood sugar rise?
carbs start breaking down to sugar starting from when ur saliva contacts it. so carbs can go through glycolysis very quickly and get into ur blood faster than the other main groups of macromolecules
Can you counteract the carbs by eating with other foods?
No
