About 10 months post op, been getting blood sugar levels as low as 55...

I eat a diet of protein, veggies, and fruits, and occasionally give in to a sweet craving. I notice that if I do have a high sugar treat, I will not experience dumping, but in an hour or so, I will get extremely shaky and dizzy and feel like I'm going to faint...and when I check my blood sugar, it's between 50-65. I know that it's obviously happening when I eat the high sugar content food, but wonder why this is happening now? I do not indulge in sweet cravings often, but when I do, I get this alarming reaction. I will check with my doctor, but would like to know if any of you other post ops experience this and what is the cause of having the sugar instability now. (I've never had diabetes, or any other blood sugar related problems pre or post op).
