Other causes
Other causes of hypoglycemia in diabetics include the following:
- Fasting, whether it be a planned fast or overnight fast, as there is a long period of time without glucose intake
- Exercising more than usual as it leads to more use of glucose, especially by the muscles
- Drinking alcohol, especially when combined with diabetic medications, as alcohol inhibits glucose production
- Kidney disease, as insulin cannot be cleared out of circulation well
