Possibly reactive: If you are diabetic but not on medication to treat it, you may be having reactive hypoglycemia. This occurs when the blood sugar rises excessively soon after eating, causing your pancreas to put out Insulin late, resulting in a low sugar about 3 hrs after eating. Rather than eating more frequently, you need to avoid concentrated sweets and carbohydrates that cause the sugar to rise soon after eat.
