So, today when I woke my bm was 6.9, had 9 lantus that I usually have, bowl shreddies and 3u of novorapid (as usual).

I had a very stressful few hours at work, 30 mins after the peak of the stress started feeling shaky and clammy. I deserted my students and bm 3.

Is this a usual reaction to stress?
 
Kinda depends on the 'type' of stress. If associated with increased activity it could be helping you to burn your blood glucose off more quickly.
The 'worry' type of stress can have the opposite effect and raise your BGs.
