A small study of non-diabetic elderly people with advanced MSA, PD, progressive supranuclear palsy & dementia with Lewy bodies used continuous glucose monitoring to track glucose [blood sugar] levels.

They found very low levels during the night ("4 of them reached recordable limit of 40 mg/dL" - 2.2 mmol/L ; that's extremely, dangerously low) and abnormally large spikes after meals.

If you have used a CGM, have you noticed similar patterns?
