I had reactive hypoglycaemia, many years ago and the first symptom for me was severe mood swings - I'd start acting completely irrationally - but I didn't know I was irrational. My boyfriend would stick a glass of orange juice in my hand and within 20 minutes I'd be feeling really embarrased about my earlier behaviour. My BG would get as low as 34, though it was only measured when I was at work.
When I started low carbing, I had a milder reaction, in that every time I ate my BG would fall, so by the end of the day I'd be feeling weird and shaky, but my BG would be something like 72.
Metformin helped, now my BG for the day are a very slight downward slope - but still no peaks at all after I eat, but at least no drops.
