Can people with obesity also have hypoglycemia?

Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Do overweight people also experience low blood sugar?

Doctor's answer:

After obesity reappears, dietary adjustments can be implemented based on the situation, primarily focusing on regulating dietary activities. If long-term excessive dieting occurs again, it may lead to recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia. This type of hypoglycemia is related to nutritional deficiencies caused by prolonged dieting. After experiencing such hypoglycemia, symptoms can be alleviated by eating promptly.
