Huh? That's one possible way to become hypoglycemic, but certainly not the most common, in my limited professional experience.
Oh ok, what are the other ways, what is the most common way?
I'm not diabetic, so I am relation my perspective as a former EMT:
The most common I experienced was folks not managing their daily diet perfectly. It can happen that they miss a meal or whatever, and "forget". Then, while driving, the impacts of becoming hypoglycemic hit. Since they "forgot", the onset of symptoms is unexpected. If it hits fast enough they don't have time to realize what's happening, and go from a competent driver to a "drunk", with reduced mentation, focus, dexterity, etc. They can even pass out.
