Please, please speak to your dr about all this.  Perhaps there is some tie-in going on that the dr can help you with.

Based on the little you've said; I would make a drs appt today.  It sounds like the dr has some investigating to do, including for things stella5349 has suggested.

Your body is in a state where your insulin is wanting to increase. This is not good. You need to limit you sugar and carb intake (due to carbs converting into sugar) and get on a protein balanced diet.

Many hypo's (underactive) will develop diabeties down the road due to these insulin surges.
