I suspect it happens because of your externally provided insulin (as in, you caused your hypoglycemia by injecting too much).

IDK if hypoglycemias happen naturally in T1Ds in situations where they don't in healthy people. I assume that eg. when exercising too much etc., even a healthy person would get a hypoglycemia?

I doubt so. I tried water-fasting for a week while exercising a lot and felt great. Fatigue from jogging felt nonexistent as compared to normal (my normal endurance is pretty low). Resistance exercise muscle fatigue felt way stronger (low recovery rate) than normal yet apparently didn't affect the brain as I neither felt sleepy, nor moody nor intellectually impaired.
