[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1505966, member: 410240"] A t2 unless due to Medication can’t get a “[I]real Hypo[/I]”, the sort of Hypo that results in blue lights to the A&E with a person that is none responsive. But anyone can get BG low enough at times to make them feel unwell or have some illness that makes their complete body shut down. Medics often don't consider it a hypo unless the BG is under 3, but your mind will disagree at the time, as our brains don't like any fast drop in BG. (If just on Metformin you can't get a "real hypro", but you can get low BG like anyone else can.) Hence people should not remove all carbs from meals some days, but eat normal carbs other days. Fasting is OK (unless on some meds) as the body is designed to cope with not catching any food for a few days. [/QUOTE]
