Most certainly hypoglycemic. Are you taking oral medication for diabetes or using insulin?

58 is a pretty low reading. It is not typical for people who are not diabetic. It indicates your body is making too much insulin at the food trigger beginning, and that insulin is sweeping the glucose out of your blood too fast. The liver is supposed to kick in when you are low, with newly manufactured glucose. So if people have liver damage this might be a reason. But most commonly very low numbers like this mean you are on the road to diabetes in the future. Hypoglycemia may come from disorders of the pancreas as well, or a tumor there.

Changes in diet by avoiding sugar and starchy carbs may help level you out so you don't get these spells.
