Yes, you should get it checked and get the workup done
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern
Yes, the black out or syncope episode is a matter for concern. I doubt whether its entirely related to the lowered blood sugar. If the morning sugar was done in a fasting state the 130 is high. 76 is low but not as low as to cause syncope. Blood pressure also needs to be measured and HBA1C levels should be done if the fasting blood sugar is high on two occasions repeatedly , tested 2 weeks apart. An EKG, blood counts and metabolic profile including blood sugar and electrolytes can be advised as part of the workup in consultation with your doctor.
Wishing you best of health
Thanks
