How do I handle hypoglycemia & protein issues??? Please Help!!!

I am one year post-op and have lost 73 lbs. I still need to lose 23 more lbs. but I was diagnosed with having hypoglycemia. Now my problem is trying to focus on protein to lose the 23 lbs. but not getting enough carbs to maintain my sugar levels. Therefore I get shakey, etc. My blood sugar dropped to a dangerous 36 one day. How on earth can I deal with trying to lose this additional weight, keep it off and deal with hypoglycemia? My doctor even said it's more like "reactive hypoglycemia". I've read books, etc. but none of them deal with gastric bypass patients and hypoglycemia. Any thoughts, suggestions or personal experience would be most appreciated!
