Frankly, I would attribute this glucose deficiency to his diet that cut down on rice and the like. By reducing bodily supply of starch (and also lipids) they will interfere with their natural metabolic pathways such as glycogenoysis and gluconeogenesis which stabilize blood glucose levels, however without the underlying resources they cannot achieve their purpose.
