Hypoglycemia: Although a fasting blood sugar may be normal, it's possible to have reactive hypoglycemia which occurs after eating carbohydrates, especially sweets. I recommend a 6 hour glucose tolerance test which measures your fasting blood sugar and then sugar levels every hour after drinking a glucose liquid. This causes a spike in glucose which triggers insulin release which may lower the glucose too low
