Hypoglycemia results from low sugar levels due to the ____
A
absence of insulin
B
presence of too much insulin
C
presence of iodine and calcium
D
lack of sugar in one’s diet
Explanation: 

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: -Sometimes, you can accidentally take more insulin than you need, which can result in an overdose. This can be very serious, and may lead to severe hypos. The worst cases can make you feel disorientated, cause you to have seizures and could even lead to death.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Hypoglycemia can be associated with insulin resistance, and people often become hyper-insulinemic [having too much insulin] before they become hyperglycemic.”
