I have diabetes type 1. every so often when i have a low blood sugar, i eat unconsciously.?

like i eat an EXCESSIVE amount of sweets such as: chocolate, ice cream, peanut butter, milk, sweetly condensed milk, etc. what exactly causes this? is it an anxiety attack? its completely unconsciously and before i even check my blood sugar level to find out im low. the reason i know im low is because of the symptoms. ive had diabetes 10 years now.
