I am hypoglycemic and to keep my blood sugar stable, I eat small meals throughout the day. I also avoid sugar, refined carbs and processed foods.
Up your protein and lower the white foods. Eat 6 small meals throughout the day.
If you're looking for some snack ideas, I always keep raw almonds and part-skim string cheese handy. Natural peanut butter is good too and there are some excellent protein bars/shakes on the market.
My hypo is so severe that I have to stay away from fruit like apples and grapes as well. Strawberries, blueberries etc are the lowest on the Glycemic Index, so I eat those.
In fact, here's a good link for you. If you stick to the lower ones on this list and eat more often, you should be good.
Take care of this, especially when you're pregnant.
