First and foremost. You don't need a new doctor, just another one. See a specialist. An endocrinologist.
Second. The feeling of 'low' blood sugars is a tricky thing. I've been a type 1 diabetic for over 9 years. I relate it to the change of blood sugar... ie the derivative. You can be over 300 and have the symptoms of low blood sugar simply because its plummeting downward at a quick rate. This is not always the case, which is why it's tricky. A low blood sugar can also just be a low blood sugar, but in any case, it is there as a *warning*.
IF you have hypoglycemia, I think it's important for you to understand what causes it and what it can lead to. These are things that can be taught to you by a specialist, a nutrionalist, or even some quick reading.
Hypoglycemia isn't directly related to the lack of sugar in your body, but rather the body's response. Low blood sugar is an indirect relation. Watching what you eat (on a level I can't even begin to explain) is going to be one of the only solutions to this mess. Goodluck with it, because it's such a radical lifestyle change.

He might want to do a glucose test where he measures your sugar level through different activities.

This will effect a person within hours, (roughly 4 to 6) as your bodies muscles replenish spent sugar storage while drawing from the bloodstream. (Just to clarify for the OP to gather a timetable)
