There is no medicine for hypoglycemia -- well there was one, long ago that ended up to too toxic to use: ProGlycem. You see hypoglycemia was a "disease" back in the 70's. It was an epidemic actually. What it really was ... is an indicator of impaired glucose utilization, that has now become diabetes for many.

Not all doctors attend to lows predictably. They are only looking for the dreading diabetic highs. But the lows are a message, a HEADS UP, to change your ways. Avoid sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and heavy reliance on starchy carbs. Smaller meals, and some good nutritious snacks twice a day or so, help even out swings in blood sugar. Keep in mind when LOW your cells are not getting the glucose they need.

The HbA1C is for targeting high blood sugars after eating. With your rather depressed results I would think your HbA1C would be normal, or on the low side.
