If you're not a diabetic taking meds experiencing nocturnal hypoglycemia & low blood sugar happens during daytime whenever you lie down, this is most unusual. If your readings are accurate & low blood sugars follow eating carbs, reactive hypoglycemia may be occurring caused by subsequent spikes in blood sugar in release of insulin which causes your blood sugar to drop too low. Eat protein snacks
