As a type 2, it really depends on how your diabetes is being exhibited. If you have suffered from reactive hypoglycemia, you may have occasional occurences that have been described by others here. You don't really have anything to fear tho, as a type your body has a fairly robust mechanism to protect you from damage. This is not the case for a type 1. As a type 2, when you get low your body naturally sends out a message to your liver, dumping stored glucose into you body.

As a type 2, I have been able to drive myself down to 53 using certain levels of exercise after a meal. I can then either take a measured amount of carbs to get rid of that nasty cold sweaty nauseous feeling, or I can just wait it out. For me, sitting for 5-10 minutes makes it go away.
