Not Medical Advice: Diabetic shock or severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is usually associated with diabetes.
Severe hypoglycemia, or diabetic shock, is a serious health risk for anyone with diabetes. Also called insulin reaction, as a consequence of too much insulin, it can occur anytime there is an imbalance between the insulin in your system, the amount of food you eat, or your level of physical activity. It can even happen while you are doing all you think you can do to manage your diabetes.
Several things can cause hypoglycemia. Your blood sugar level could be low if you:
Become more physically active than usual
Miss a meal
Change when or how much you normally eat
Take your insulin or medication at a different time than usual
Drink alcohol excessively without eating
