Complicated: Reactive hypoglycemia is a relative term used to describe a situation when a person has hypoglycemia within 4 hours of eating.It is not a diagnosis in itself as there can be many causes that must be then attempted to be diagnosed as to why it is being caused. It only occurs after eating and thus is not really sudden without eating. Hope that helps a little.
