1 :
Sometimes too much insulin- too high a dose/not eating/ the diabetes not being very well controlled will cause the blood sugar to drop- causing hypoglycemia.
2 :
While patients who do not have any metabolic problems can complain of symptoms suggestive of low blood sugar, true hypoglycemia usually occurs in patients being treated for diabetes (type 1 and type 2). Patients with pre-diabetes who have insulin resistance can also have low blood sugars on occasion if their high circulating insulin levels are further challenged by a prolonged period of fasting. There are other rare causes for hypoglycemia, such as insulin producing tumors (insulinomas) and certain medications.
3 :
A diabetic has to give insulin via injections and sometimes they can give too much causing sugar levels to drop this can also be done by too much exercise/eating too little/ stress. Hyperglycemia only occurs when there isnt enough insulin in the body :)
