Sensitive To Changes In Sugar Levels. How To Know Low Sugar Level And To Stabilize?

Hi, I started taking cipralex over the summer. I now take 20mg a day. I have noticed recently that I am highly sensitive to changes in my level of blood sugar , and that every few hours I have to eat something or else my brain shuts off. Are these connected? How do I know if my blood sugar is low? What can I do to stablize myself without constantly having to eat? Camille
