Eating too many carbs does not help your sugar levels. You need to eat carbs along with protein such as crackers and cheese or crackers with peanut butter. Your body may be using the carbs too fast and the protein will help to keep your sugar level better than just carbs. You can also have a piece of fruit. Are there any other medical conditions right now that you are dealing with that could be contributing or are you overexercising and not eating enough? Try some protein.
I am a fellow diabetic so I understand what you are going through and have dealt with this before.
try eating something with a bit more sugar. That will certainly bring you up a bit.
