Overtreatment: Too much Insulin or inappropriate use (overuse) of oral diabetes medications can cause your blood sugar to drop a lot. Exercise or rapid weight loss without changing your regimen can do the same. Many things can cause your blood sugar to drop. It's important to find out the cause so that you can be treated apprpriately.
