ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The hormone insulin lowers blood sugar (glucose) levels when blood sugar is too high. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and need insulin to control your blood sugar, taking more insulin than you need can cause your blood sugar level to drop too low and result in hypoglycemia.

Detailed explanation-2: -But too much insulin or other diabetes medications may cause your blood sugar level to drop too much, causing hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia can also occur if you eat less than usual after taking your regular dose of diabetes medication, or if you exercise more than you typically do.

Detailed explanation-3: -Causes of Low Blood Sugar Taking too much insulin. Not eating enough carbs for how much insulin you take. Timing of when you take your insulin. The amount and timing of physical activity.

Detailed explanation-4: -“Hypoglycemia can be associated with insulin resistance, and people often become hyper-insulinemic [having too much insulin] before they become hyperglycemic.”

Detailed explanation-5: -Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Similarly, as blood glucose falls, the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreatic islets goes down.
