So Ive been watching my diet for the past two weeks, staying away from sugars which causes my BGL to skyrocket up and then bottom out rapidly - which can also cause fainting. It really is a lifestyle change when you get right down to it. At least it is nothing too serious but I will have to stay on top of it for the rest of my life or end up in the hospital with more complications than I'd care to see. Thanks for asking.
