Need Treatment For Blood Sugar Drop

HI our daughter is 4 years old and has been experiencing blood sugar drops for almost two years now. We have had tons of blood work ran on her and it keeps coming back with inconsistencies, but the doctor has not been able to pin down a diagnoses. Just recently we found that she has high cortisol and high alkaline phosphate. We are looking at a testing her for a genetic disorder called Fructose 1-6 deficiency, but when I look at the symptoms associated with this disorder online, I am not convinced. Just wondering if we are overlooking something.
