Could the Monster have done this? (I'm just curious)?

Question

The other day I was at work, and something weird happened with my blood sugar.  It either went way up and dropped or just flat out dropped.  I got super shaky, started feeling tired, couldn't hold a conversation, and was just feeling really sick.  I told my brother that I had to eat and after we got off shift we went across the street to McDonalds (I know, not the greatest thing to eat but it was close and I had to eat).  Once I got something in my stomach I felt so much better and I was fine.  
I was trying to figure out why exactly that happened.  Usually when I'm at work I don't eat all day, and I only drink water, so I'm used to not having food constantly in my system, and I never have a problem besides feeling a little hungry.  But when I'm at home I eat normal, so I'm also used to having a lot of stuff in my system.  I've pretty much gotten my body used to whatever I throw at it, and I'm usually perfectly healthy.
This day I did eat something (a poptart, I know, once again, not the most healthy choice but it was all I could find to take along) around ten, and then I was alternating between drinking tea and water all day, so I shouldn't have had a problem.
The only thing I can think of that was different this day was that I had a little bit of Monster.  One of the kids I was working with was drinking some and I made a face at him.  When he heard I'd never had Monster, he gave me some.  It was only like 3, 4 ounces.  Not that much.  but it was about an hour after I drank it that I started feeling all messed up.  I know if you drink it in large quantities it will make you sick, but I didn't have that much.  Could what happened be related to that, or was it just a freak occurence?  I'm not concerned about it, I was just curious.  I wouldn't think 3 or 4 ounces would be enough, but since I'm not used to energy drinks or large amounts of caffeine (I don't even drink soda or coffee), and that was the only thing I did differently, I couldn't help wondering.
Any ideas?

Monsters have a ton of caffeine.  If your body isn't used to that, you can have this kind of reaction.  I used to drink Mountain Dew and regular tea all the time, but then I quit for several months.  The next time I had a cup of tea, pretty much the same thing you described happened to me.  Now I only drink decaf tea and I seem to be fine.  I think you should be too, as long as you stay away from the Monster on an empty stomach.   : )

I hate to interrupt it to you, yet God already ate the Flying Spaghetti Monster. What else are you going to do with something created from pasta? back in the process the time of Moses, God did a similar element in historical Egypt whilst He had different gods for breakfast which include Horus and Ra.

i assume you mean monster the energy drink?

well some people are allergic or have a bad reaction to one of the ingredients in energy drinks, its mainly tourine .
I personally am allergic to this and when i have it, i get the symptoms that you described above. Very light headed, feel the need to sit down or a may fall over, dizzy, sick etc. So perhaps its best to steer clear of any energy drinks in the future!

well, caffeine is a drug, and your not used to caffeine, so when you took some into your body it made you sick, its like if you smoke a cigarette for the first time you can get really sick too.
