Diabetics are particularly affected when they don’t have enough food because their medications often lower blood sugar levels. On days when they lack sufficient food intake, their blood sugar can drop dangerously low, leading to hypoglycemia. This condition can result in serious health complications, including confusion, loss of consciousness, and even seizures, posing life-threatening risks.
Why are diabetics particularly affected when they don’t have enough food? short answer full sentences

We give them medications that lower their blood sugar on days when they don't have enough food. It puts them at risk for life threatening side effects of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar. "
