Workup needed : Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is always of concern for conditions such as infections, metabolic or malignant and aside from adjusting your diabetes meds or insulin if you suffer from diabetes and having small, frequent meals, avoiding concentrated sugar there is not much to do. Make sure your GP and/or kidney doctors are aware of your low sugars.
