I had the same thing. I even fainted at work. For me they found I would let my blood sugar would drop to low. I was told to eat every 2 hours, even if it is just a piece of fruit or a handful of almonds. Greek yogurt is also another great blood sugar stabilizer. I would talk to your Dr. though just to make sure.
