Hi Wiix,
Bummer!

Have you tried keeping a food diary?
Maybe include foods eaten, time of day?
Maybe include periods of nausea and other symptoms?
Maybe also include your sleeping patterns?

Diaries can be very useful in helping us to recognize patterns we may not otherwise recognize.

I understand the issue may not be low blood sugar; yet, I wonder if low blood sugar interrupts your sleep, since you awaken at 4 am to eat? The earlier posts in this thread re: blood glucose levels, etc., may be helpful with getting your sleeping pattern squared away?

Are you eating meals of protein and complex carbs?
Have you tried smaller meals, more frequently throughout the day, with a small snack of protein (and complex carbs) before you go to sleep at night?

Is the food you are eating upsetting your stomach?
I used to be able to tolerate more types of foods than I can tolerate now.
A food diary had helped me to identify foods which give me symptoms.

Have you looked at the FODMAPS diet, as suggested by mrsD?
I know of many people utilizing this diet for GI issues, with success.

I am hoping keeping a diary and possibly modifying your diet will help you to feel better. As always, consult your physician. Report symptoms/info. to your physician.

I hope you recover quickly and can enjoy your day!
