How is someone checked for hypoglycemia?

I've been expiriencing a shakey, weak, almost drunk feeling an hour or so after eating some meals. It does not last long and it does not happen all the time but is becoming more and more frequent.Maybe 4 times this week. It is NOT dumping either (I get that too when I eat a little too much sugar...so I know how that feels) I've been reading through the library and think I may be having espisodes of hypoglycemia. Although I do eat carbs and fat along with my protein so I'm not completely convinced it's low blood sugar. Can you be tested even when you aren't experiencing an episode for hypoglycemia? Does this seem like that's what it could be for those who have been diagnosed with it? Is this a serious condition? Is it something that can be controlled with diet or is it controlled with prescription? Sorry so many questions...Thanks for any input!! Kim open RNY 7/17 -111
