Hypoglycemia?
Is this Hypoglycemia? If I go a little to long without eating I get the shakes. Eating a few crackers seems to help more than eating protein. My blood work always comes back great. Do I need to get a meter? I hate to spend a bunch of money on a meter if i don't need one. Suggestions?

Sounds like it.
The meters aren't the expensive part.. or they don't have to be. It's the strips. Get a script and your insurance will likely cover the cost of your testing supplies.
It's managable when you start to figure out what triggers your symptoms. Are you just hypoglycemic, or are you a reactive hypoglycemic as well? A journal helps you know what helps you pull out of an episode and what makes one worse.
