You would not necessarily feel bad when you first get up in the morning. When my son was younger, he was hypogycemic so I have some experience with it. Hypogycemics need to eat many small meals a day and not skip meals. When the body has not eaten for a while and then loads up on carbohydrates the pancreas responds by releasing insulin. In a hypogycemic, if the person has allowed themself to go without food for a while, the pancreas turns on the insulin and goes into overdrive. It just produces too much insulin. Too many carbs at once will confuse the pancreas and and it will overproduce the insulin. For example, in my son's case, he would eat cereal for breakfast and then eat lunch 6 hours later at school. About a half an hour after lunch he would pass out. That is why I took him to the doctor. The doctor explained that small meals and snacks all day would allow the pancreas to work slowly all day, and then it would not get overloaded all at once and go out of whack. That is why many hypogycemics actually have their trouble after they eat not before. The large meals after a period of no food in the system causes the darn pancreas to kickstart itself and not shut off soon enough. The only way to know for sure if this is your problem is to see a doctor. It is very important that you find the answer because left untreated it can damage your system and cause your pancreas to eventually no longer be able to release enough insulin, then you will be diabetic. My son's doctor told me that a hypoglycemic that does not take care of themself is at a very high risk of developing diabetes. Also, you risk passing out while driving, etc. Eating foods with lots of sugar, drinking regular pop and eating very large meals when you have not eaten for more than 2-3 hours is particularly harmful. Please go to the doctor.
