No, in general having low blood sugar levels always doesnt indicate diabetes. However, get yourself tested if you are experiencing frequent hypoglycemic episodes.
Certain situations can temporarily increase your blood sugar levels and cause hyperglycemia in people with and without diabetes. Physical stress, such as from an illness, surgery or injury, can temporarily raise your blood sugar.
This is because overtime, your body becomes insulin resistant the pancreas keeps making more insulin to try to make cells respond.
The development of insulin resistance typically increases insulin production (hyperinsulinemia) so that your body can maintain healthy blood sugar levels. If a person has excess insulin in their body and does not have insulin resistance, it would cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar levels. One needs to pop a candy or glucose rich drink to prevent complications. You may experience dizziness, fast heart beats or even fainting if you delay taking glucose rich foods.
