I think the only way to know for sure (and convince doctors) is to have a glucometer at home and test all day long.
fasting, 1.5hr after breakfast, before lunch, 1.5hr after lunch, before dinner, 1.5 hr after dinner, before bedtime, and wake up around 1am and test then if you can.
Keep a corresponding log of what you eat at those meals when you are testing.
If your A1C is low, and your INSULIN high, that would point to a specific tumor of the pancreas that secretes insulin. There is a further test they can do but usually it is done in the hospital.
Low blood sugar spells can have confusing symptoms, and the only way to know for sure is to have a blood test to confirm it with your glucometer. Do you have low blood sugar symptoms in the night? Nightmares, or night sweats?
