ways to prevent hypoglycemia in chihuahua puppies?

Can you answer Im dying’s question about Diabetes?:

I’ll be getting a chihuahua puppy soon and I’ve heard a lot about hypoglycemia in the breed. Does feeding it a quality dog food every few hours (or free-feeding) generally prevent this or would I really have to give him a little something with sugar in it a few times a day? Also, how about during bedtime? how many hours can the breed comfortably go without food during the night?
