Hi,Maryam,
You have got uncontrolled diabetes,the problems you are having due to hypoglycemia.
You go for control of diabetes by regular monitoing of anti diabetic medicines,
It seems that you have got type 1 diabetes so dose of insulin adjusted under strict observation of diabetologist.
Never skip any meal particularly of night meal.
You strictly observe diabetic food plan.
ok and bye.
