Persistent hypoglycaemia at 21

I am going to go to the doctors for advice and bloods asap but thought it might be worth looking on here for advice or anyone that has anything similar.

I am 21, female and recently have started having persistent hypoglycaemia. I have suffered with hypoglycaemia since 14/15. I have always assumed it is hypoglycaemia by the shaking, uncomfortableness and loss of concentration and usually upon having food or something sweet it goes away.

I have recently dieted and lost 1.5 stone. I am 5'3 and 9st. Whilst heavily dieting (800-1000cals a day) i had managed to get the hypos under control and had none at all. I am now eating more and have not been hardcore dieting for at least a month and now the hypos are bad. 15-20 mins into a walk I get hot, shakey, feel very uncomfortable and get tunnel vision/feel spaced out.

i work in diabetes type 1 and have always wondered if this is a possibility. any thoughts?

thanks!
