Most diabetics are t2 that suffer from high sugars , which has been said in a previous post can damage eyes, kidneys, heart, ect .

High sugars can leave you feeling tired and confused which can be mistaken for low blood sugars

Indeed, reasonable common in Parkinson's disease and often with pregnancy but rarely in healthy individuals. Most is down to obesity leading to the onset of type two diabetes.
