just finished my 5 hour oral glucose...

that was the most boring thing ever! Needless to say, I got a lot of Chemistry homework done until towards the end.

I took my tester and tested my BG after they took blood. I don't have their results (other than my fasting, which was 90 - my meter said 82 - it's always in the 90's when I first wake up though).

The glucose was like drinking regular soda except worse (I've never been able to drink regular soda because it makes me sick to my stomach and makes my mouth feel funny).

I took it after the first hour and it was 245, second hour was 162, but then it got weird - I skipped the third hour, and then at the fourth, I was starting to feel clammy, so I took it and it was 70 (I've come to realize that when it gets in the 70's is when I start to feel like **** and need to eat), then by the 5th hour I had the shakes really bad and when I took it the meter said 66.

Is it weird that it dropped so quickly?
