Hi Rosserk, in the beginning of diabetes type 2, when you're still producing insulin, you can have reactive hypoglycemia. When you ingest more carbs than your body can handle, the beta cells are frantically churning out more and more insulin in order to get the cells of the body to take up glucose. But since they're insulin resistant, it takes a lot of insulin. By the time it works, there's a lot of circulating insulin, too much of it in fact, so too much glucose gets taken up by the cells, and the blood glucose becomes low. It could very well be, what you're experiencing. It would also explain your low hba1c, since that is an app. average of your blood glucose over time.
