A member asked:

Can you have symptoms of low blood sugar like nausea/weakness/hunger if you aren't diabetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is possible.: It is possible to have actual hypoglycemia without having diabetes in the background. This is generally reactive hypoglycemia, which tends to occur one to two hours after a meal containing largely simple sugars. We can prevent this by including complex carbohydrates and fiber in each meal.
