Hello.  I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes.  Have you had the hypoglycemia test or diabetes test actually done?  The symptoms are there, if you haven't done those tests, I'd recommend you get them done right away to ease your concerns.  The celiac test can be done as well, but many endocrinologists will recommend to test for diabetes or hypogylcemia first.  Good luck.

Hi.  May I ask what the hypoglycemia test is?.  Is it a glucose test?  Is it best to have a glucose test after fasting?

Give that kid some ice cream or something with carbs in it. Then see what happens some kids use a lot of energy pack that boy full of carbs.
