Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reactive hypoglycemia typically occurs in individuals without diabetes and is usually caused by an exaggerated insulin response to a meal or snack, leading to low blood sugar levels a few hours later.

However, individuals with diabetes may experience hypoglycemia if they administer too much insulin or oral medications, not insufficient amounts.
