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
