Yep I believe you...
However, it does sound as if your basals are running too high, orherwise it wouldbe easier to 'climb' out of the hypo.
I have had times where it can take me almost an hour to be back to good levelsand stable. It hugely depends upon the physical work, the temperature, and more. It is evenmore noriceable now with a cgm of how long it can take to rise to a good level.
I went tbrough a phase very similar to you whenmy personal circumstances changed so much. I do believe you totally, on the food and time angles that you state.
I didnt get the physical signs that you are experiencing though... However, I firmly believe the qty of jelly besns I ate was responsible for horrible problems with my stomach and bowel... Now I do not have jelly babies at all... Just soft mints from bp/m&s, mint kendall cake, butter tablet, fudge, dolly mixtures or waitrose soft mints from their petrol stations. These for me andmy stomach and bowel, act a lot faster thanjelly babies.. And hugely nicer to eat!!!
You got to get your basals right though..you can't go on like this.
