Diabetologist 's  Response
Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think the problem was due to the low sugars. This is a common phenomenon with oral tablets for diabetes. The tablets may accumulate in the body and cause hypoglycemia. you may in fact need to meet your treating doctor to know a more correct and possibly reduced dose of the medicine. unfortunately I cannot help you with that because the query is silent on the medicine.

Meanwhile, do take more juices and sugar rich fluids. they help in raising the sugars faster than the oral foods. And of course meet a doctor. If the hypoglycemia was due to accumulated tablet, possibility of a repeat episode in next 48 hours is high.

Keep checking sugars regularly- atleast 8 hourly, preferably before meals. Check HbA1c too. if its low, the possibility is that your sugar is too well controlled

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
