Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

It appears to be an episode of hypoglycemia. This is very common when you on oral hypoglycemic drug and miss any meal and on long hours on work.
I would advice my patient to do a regular check of blood sugar and blood pressure. Based on the values, diet and work the treatment dose of the drugs needs to be adjusted.
I find this answer helpful
