@ghost_whistler Perhaps you could request an oral glucose tolerance test? That might give some initial answers. You've said most of your results were between 5-10 and you only get the symptoms some days.
Three thoughts - can you link the lows/symptoms to anything yet? If nor, that would be useful.
Have you eaten a carby meal and then tested every 30mins or more often afterwards to see if you're having a sudden/quick drop from the higher normal to the lower normal, which is causing yourvsymptoms?
Finally, have you tried just eating your usual diet, not testing regularly but waiting until you get the symptoms and then testing to confirm they are due to low blood sugar?
A final 'final thought', why not experiment with a variety of eating plans eg low carb, eating small meals more often, protein snacks between meals, etc, etc (those are just random examples) and see which way of eating makes you feel best?
I would be wary of assuming too much until you have a definite diagnosis.
