A member asked:
Why do diabetics have problems with low blood glucose or hypoglycemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Over treatment: The most common cause of low blood sugar in a diabetic is overtreatment with diabetes medications (either you give Insulin and didn't eat or eat enough, or you started doing more activity beyond what you usually do). If this is a consistent problem, make sure you talk to your doctor to get your treatment regimen reevaluated.
