@janepastvan I was offered a patch monitor for a month (I only did it for two weeks but could have done a month). Maybe that would help. Or a smartwatch?

My kid has type 1 diabetes and had to prick her finger 15 times/day when a child. I think of her when I test my blood sugar! Like you have occasions of low blood sugar. I know that eating something sweet without fat or protein will result in a low blood sugar in about 2 hours. I have to remember to include protein and/or fat with white rice, white potatoes etc.

Thank you for the advice. Is the patch you're talking about, the one where you push a button when you feel something? I wore one for a few days, but it was difficult. Maybe I can get one again, but it seems like there's little to be done about them. I need to eat protein every meal. If I was to just eat sweets I would have palps immediately. I'm working on eating every 2 hrs like I need to. Hard to do when you're never hungry and have GERD!
I'm sorry about your child. It must have been hell.
