Speaking of sweating, how about sugar crashes?

OK, so day 1 of being pregnant, and I'm about to pass out from a sugar crash. I normally get these at 5PM every day, and avoid them by drinking a protein drink at 4PM. No clue what's wrong with me normally, and worried it's some kind of hypoglycemia - I just try to manage it.

So today, it happened two hours too early, and I'm covered in sweat and shaking all over - trying not to pass out. In my office at work. YAY.

Does anyone know about this problem? Anyone suffer from them? Anyone know if I'm supposed to be this hungry so soon? It's not really a hunger thing as much a blood sugar thing, I think ...
