Can eating dinner only a day cause hypoglycemia?

No: You may feel tired and lethargic, but one meal only a day does not cause significant low blood sugars . Though eating one meal a day does not cause low blood sugars- it is not healthy do that . You should eat 3meals/day in moderate amount rather than 1 meal/day.
