Yes, individuals with type 2 diabetes can experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This can occur due to:

  • Medications: Certain diabetes medications, such as insulin or sulfonylureas, can lower blood sugar too much.
  • Skipping Meals: Not eating enough or skipping meals can lead to low blood sugar.
  • Excessive Physical Activity: Intense exercise without adjusting food intake or medication can cause blood sugar to drop.

Symptoms of low blood sugar include shakiness, sweating, confusion, and dizziness. If you experience frequent hypoglycemia, consult your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan.
