I never got an official diagnosis but its starting to get scary because what my doctor said to do isn't working and i still get symptoms between meals and I only got a one time test. should I find a new doctor? or just ask for a 5 hour glucose tolerance test? or just go straight to an endocrinologist? I don't really know what to do and it's scaring some of my family members that something might really be wrong with me that we don't know about. What should I do?

What symptoms are you having? Also, what advice did your doctor give you?
While a person is waiting for a diagnosis or trying to figure out what to do, there are steps you can take that should help you in the meantime.

I have over a 5 hour gap between breakfast and lunch (7am-12:30pn) but we have a snack time and if I eat a snack at 10am I'm usually fine but if I don't I get nauseous, shakey that sort of thing (also when I first wake up and right before bed). Also about a month ago I had a really sugary breakfast so I got a spike and about an hour later I passed out from what my doctor said was a quick drop. My doctor only said to eat more protein or just eat more in general

You shouldn't eat any sugar at all, permanently. No caffeine either. Just protein, vegetables, nuts, and whole grain. Eat every 2 hours, keep nuts with you if there is a long time between breaks. Stay off fruit and starchy stuff for now as well. You can probably add a little fruit in later.

I go to a nut free school so I can't have nuts. also I can't get out of class to eat every 2 hours without an official diagnosis and a doctors note.
