By itself?: No.. But it can make your eating habits poor from lack of attention.

Not Typically: Opioid toxicity may be associated with low bp, confusion and respiratory depression. But, unless taken with other drugs that specifically lower blood glucose (for treating diabetes, for example), or in the presence of decreased nutritional intake, hypoglycemia isn't a prominent finding.
