I also have issues with my BGL dropping very low and quickly. Sometimes happens 30 minutes after a good meal. I feel hypocritical in telling my advise because i'm such a ding dong that I don't do the right things myself most of the time. With that said....here are my thoughts....if you need to lose weight - do it now and start exercising regularly. Eat healthy - be sure to include those fruits and veggies in your diet. ALWAYS keep some type of food with you. I can tell when I'm about to bottom out so I immediately stop what I'm doing and eat. I have passed out several times and had a BGL as low as 40. Tell your coworkers, friends and family. That way, if you really start to bottom out and need help - they know what to do. You can also keep glucose tablets with you. I have them in my car, purse and book bag at all times. Pay attention to your body and when your sugar is dropping. When was the last time you ate, what did you eat, how were you feeling etc... I have found patterns and can usually predict what's going to happen so I'm more prepared if I want to "cheat". When I was working, I kept those little cans of OJ in my desk drawer. They don't need to be refrigerated so it was perfect.
Hang in there - and pay attention to your body. Also...can't remember if you mentioned this but see your doctor too - have them do some BG Fasting tests, A1C, adrenal function etc... And watch the stress levels....that can make your BGL go crazy!!!
