If you have low levels of insulin you might have trouble getting that glucose where it needs to go. If there’s nothing wrong with the production of insulin as such it might be over suppressed. There’s a hormone responsible for suppressing insuline connected to the stomach, forgot what its called, but it’s known that gastric bypass patients can have trouble with this. There is thing called “dumping” which they experience, similar to an anxiety attack, connected to this. Might be an area to look into.

The insulin levels are normal. Though tested only once.

I wish there were cheap and easy tests that you could do at home for the most common things, it would be great to test myself during one of the attacks. Guess we'll have to wait till one of the lab-on-a-chip projects to take off.

Is the hormone decretin or gherlin or limostatin?

I believe I was thinking of GLP-1 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/29113813/

You can easily test your blood sugar, like diabetics do. I did this out of curiosity, and it was interesting to see it rise and fall after eating.
