So what type of diabetes causes low blood sugar? I had felt so sick one day, so nauseated and lightheaded. I stopped and got 2 donuts on my way to work. Changed course and went to the hospital instead. It was about 45 mins between eating the donuts and the physician asking me if I was diabetic. I said no. They took my blood sugar and it was 40. They handed me 2 orange juice to drink right then and a couple snacks. Took my blood sugar 20 mins later and it was 60. Handed me 2 more OJ and more snacks and I left. (I didn’t have insurance and it was a private hospital)
