Having hypos on 1 mg of Glimopride
Please treat any hypos first.

How low do you go?
Are you still on steroids?
Are you still on insulin?
What kind of numbers do you usually see throughout the day?

How long have you been on the glimepiride?

Can you contact your GP first thing in the morning to let them know you've been having hypos on this medication and to ask what to do?
