Hypoglycemia can occur due to many reasons but most commonly when there is mismatch between food intake and medicines which is prescribed. So if Hypoglycemia has occurred rarely due missed/ delayed meals can b corrected by regular meals. If it’s happening regularly then need to step down on the medicines. So need more information about medicines and doses kindly consult.
