Low blood sugar

I passed my diabetes test a couple weeks ago but at my last appointment my doctor told me I have low blood sugar. She didn't tell me much other than to up my protein. But should I up my sugar slightly too? I know I get lightheaded too. I'll pop a hard candy in my mouth and feel better. Any suggestions? Has anyone else delt with low blood sugar?

Actually with low blood sugar the best thing is an increase in protien. I keep a block of cheese on hand and if mine starts to drop then I slice off a piece and lay down with some water a few mins and it clears up. I have dealt with low blood sugar in all 3 pregnancies now but was not diabetic...oh and my dr suggested powerade or Gatorade to help keep then stable.
