I'm suffering through a basal test and I don't feel so good

Here are my results:
6:40am 113
7:30am 161- had large breakfast to get me through the day (~70g, 1:9)
9:00am 152 (I think my 1:9 was too much for brkfst)
10:40am 85- had ~8g because I was feeling very low and thought I'd drop lower
11:10am 83
12:00pm 98
1:00pm 111
2:00pm 101

My problem is I'm really dizzy and nauseous and my balance is totally thrown off. I don't really feel that hungry or the need to eat, so I'm not sure the way I'm feeling has to do with lack of food. I feel like somebody's squirted my ears out with water and totally messed up my equilibrium. I can't walk straight down the halls. It started about the time my bg dropped to 85 and I thought I was low, but it has not gone away. The only notable difference is that over the last 2-3 days I've been trying to drink as much water as I can possibly handle. And since I average maybe 32 oz/day, I wonder if the extra water is having this effect? (I'm drinking 64+ oz now) I'm such a Diet Coke junkie that I'm sure my body is always in a state of dehydration. So does anybody else get this way when they do basal testing? I've only tested once before and it didn't happen.

Do you think my basal dose looks pretty good/Are my bgs stable enough? Should I stop or try to keep going? I was planning on going all the way to dinner to see if I stay stable all the way through.
