A good test for whether you're hypoglycemic is to set an alarm to go off every waking hour for three days, and eat a handful of nuts (or something else with a low glycemic load) every time the alarm goes off.

I did this and felt waaaaaaaaay better than normal mood- and concentration-wise. Realizing that I have blood sugar issues is the most important thing that's happened to me in the last five years except for having a kid.

Wait, but what's the test condition? What results should I expect from your experiment if I'm hypoglycemic or not?

Right, sorry. Basically that you feel way better, unmistakably better (mood, concentration, alertness, that sort of thing). Not super scientific, but effective at least in my case.
