high carbs then hypo

I am getting in control of my BS - 7.4 this morning and 5.3 yesterday morning. Had quite a few extra carbs with breakfast cereal and crisps and dips later. I had an unpleasant hypo (3.2) which was the first in years.

I've been taking apple cider vinegar for a couple of months with mixed results. Any ideas please?

1000mg metformin twice a day and 40mg gliclazide in morning. Do my best to have higher protein and lower carbs diet. Supplement with apple cider vinegar and/or tablets plus (don't laugh) pickled red cabbage before bedtime (and cleaning teeth). Reading after 2 hours is around 8 or 9 in morning. Just got 11.8 about an hour and half of highish carb dinner (from pasta) which I had to push my bs back up again.
This hypo came absolutely out of the blue.

Yes, I do try to keep the carbs low, but do indulge from time to time, so trying to lower my hba1c. I feel confident that I have improved on my previous 60 (7.6) and 74 (9) before that. I used to have it down to about 6. I used to suffer from hypos in my early days from Gliclazide, which I stopped when I went on to Metformin, but haven't had any problems since Gliclazide was reintroduced about a year ago. My weight stays stable at 12.5 stone for a 6 footer. All very weird. My BS was 7.3 this morning with 11.4 two hours afterwards. This is pretty much how it used to be 3 or 4 years ago. It'll settle in a while. Had a rough time for a few years caring for my wife who died a year ago, but back on track now and slowly lowering my anti-depressants.
