Why do you get low blood sugar?

You miss a meal.

Or

You have too much insulin.

Like it was too much for the carbs you ate.

Or

You do exercise you do not plan to. Like

 

  • a walk
  • a bike ride
  • play sports.

Or

You drink alcohol.

 

It can be  1  day after drinking alcohol.

Sometimes you do not know why your blood sugar went low.

 

That is okay.

Talk to your diabetes team when it happens a lot.

This is general information. Talk to your doctor for information made for you.
