Drugs For Reactive Hypoglycemia; Persistent Mood Swings

Has anyone out there used Metformin (brand name Glucophage) and/or or Glyset (Miglitol) to control their reactive hypoglycemia? My blood sugar was totally out of control (would go very, very high after even a small intake of carbohydrate, and the plummet). As a result, I wasn't able to control it through diet alone, unless I totally avoided carbs.

I am now taking both Metformin (for insulin resistance) and Glyset (so that my glucose level doesn't go so high so fast). I still have to be very careful about what I eat, but my blood sugar has really stabalized. Consequently, I feel like I can think again! (Seriously impaired memory was my main symptom.) I was just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with either or both of these drugs?

Also, I was curious as to whether anyone who has their blood sugar fairly well controlled still feels different after they eat. Before I eat I often feel low (almost depressed). About ten minutes after a meal I start feeling somewhat euphoric. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be (when my blood sugar would go up in the past--often around 200--it was like I was high), but it's still noticable. But when I take my blood sugar it's where it should be (around 100). I was just wondering what else could be causing this rapid change in mood and whether it could it be an adrenal problem.
