Hello,
Although slight drop in blood sugar levels are encountered by every diabetic but a big drop in blood sugar levels can be very uncomfortable,cause mental confusion,unconsciousness and may be even fatal.
The cause could be higher dose of your medication or taking normal dose with no food.
Make sure to adjust your dosage of medicines if the episodes of low sugar are frequent.
Make sure to avoid your dose,if you are not taking meal at that time.
Thanks
