it does sound like you have hypoglycemia .. that's when blood sugar goes up and down and it needs monitoring by the Doctor at intervals ,,if you had a bloodtest and it was a bit low it tells me that you do need to eat properly,and in fact mom is right, although a bowl of Cereal in the morns and some toast /yoghourt may help . Eat at regular intervals don't go hours without food , breakfast then a mid day healthy snack , small meals at regular intervals does help .You can do some research for yourself , put hypoglycemia in the search engine ..it will tell you what foods to eat and when ..good luck some of us live with it for years .
