Low blood sugar and low blood pressure could be due to Addison's disease
(insufficient adrenal hormones). In acute setting associated with dizziness,muscle weakness or even paralysis it is emergency and need for immediate replacement of hormones.
If its subacute or chronic with hemodynamic instability you can wait to meet endochrinologist.
If you are on insulin therapy , kindly check for overdose or kidney insufficiency as it is associated with decreased requirement of insulin dose.
