My understanding is that diabetics have a pancreas that does not produce insulin or the body has stopped reacting to insulin, which mean they can get really high blood sugar because nothing metabolizes is.
But why does that cause diabetic people to also get low blood sugar more often than non-diabetics? If I eat a cake, my body produces a bunch of insulin to metabolize, then I go work out for an hour, my blood sugar won’t be as low as a diabetic who did the same.

Basically by taking too much insulin or not eating enough after taking insulin.
Non diabetics don’t take insulin so if they don’t eat they’ll just have lowish but okay still blood sugar. If they took insulin at that moment it’d also be too low.
