Thanks for your reply, but I called a friend who's on PP and who just happens to be a nurse. She said my blood sugar had dropped, to take just 1/4 cup OJ and sit down for about 5 minutes. Worked like a charm! Feel fine now, thought I'd post this in case anyone else has the same problem.

Blasting your system with a sudden dose of sugary carbs (such as juice) is harmful .... it makes you feel temporarily "better" from the rapid rise in blood sugar .... but the result will be a corresponding rapid rise of INSULIN in response, which will ultimately drive the blood sugar down again, possibly lower than it was before ... the repeated yo-yo'ing of blood sugar and insulin up and down ultimately leads to insulin resistance ... and a permanent condition of reactive hypoglycemia.
