What Causes Low Tolerance And Temper Tantrums In A Child?

My child experience extremely low frustration tolerance / resiliency, and often has temper tantrums when hungry. He eats regular, well-balanced meals but seems to need lots of snacks. These changes in temper come about fairly suddenly, and as soon as he has eaten a small snack he goes back to normal. Should I be concerned about blood sugar levels?
