[QUOTE="PSS, post: 685333, member: 138399"] Hi Pavlos Just logged on to the forum and saw you post. As usual lots of really good and valuable information and advice. I was diagnosed as T2 in 2003. There was no information or education available those day. They put me on Metformin and subsequently Gliclazide was also added. I had a seizure in 2011 by going hypo probably due to Gliclazide and not having eaten lunch. I then came off Gliclazide. Back in May 2014 I think I had another case of hypo and was taken to hospital. The ambulance crew thought I might be having a stroke. The consultant next day confirmed I could not have had a stroke. He couldn't say it was a mixter of hypo and a panic attack. I have been very careful since then and am trying to look after my sugar. I hardly drink now days - not even a glass of wine. I am also on just one slow release 500 mg Metformin a day. The nurse was thinking of changing it to normal Metformin. I have sometimes felt a bit dizzy/anxious but it has been probably false hypos as my body is getting used to lower BG. I am going to keep testing and keep improving what I eat. However, I do think to avoid any false hypos I need to do the changes slowly ! Again any advice or info from you will be gratefully received. Kind Regards PSS [/QUOTE]
