Dude..
I’m diabetic.
Low blood sugar will kill you right now.
When you are diabetic you can’t control your blood sugar.
High or low.
If your sugar crashes, you will die unless you get sugar into you, or get your ass to a hospital, where they will inject you with sugar.
Nothing natural about diabetes.

And yes, my blood sugar has crashed.
Not cool.
My friend had his crash bad.
His wife found him wandering the aisles in the local Kmart, moaning her name.

If you’re treating your diabetes (with insulin or substitute), yes, you can go too low. But that’s from the medication. if you or non-diabetics don’t take medication, you will never go low. Your body will not let you. The exceptions will be starvation or an anorexic disorder (both treatable). If low blood sugar is a concern, they have CGMs which continually monitor your glucose and will alarm in an emergency state. But it is the medication which drives blood sugar low not the body.
