[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1627521, member: 196898"] I found Glic to be effective in helping me to control my bgl. As a T2D your body should be producing some of its own insulin, which reduces the depth of any hypo's. I personally had regular bouts of low bgl and minor symptoms of hypo, but never needed anyone to assist me get out of one. I was doing LCHF diet, and became what is termed 'fat adjusted' which means that when my bgl drops too low, then my body start using fat for energy instead of glucose, and this also protects me from dropping too low. My journey with Glic has been very benign, and I have no qualms taking it myself. However, it is not a med to take for long term since it boosts insulin in the bgl, and there is some discussion on whether this causes Insulin Resistance in a T2D, so making things worse long term. I use Low Carb diet as my main bgl control, but keep some Glic at a low dose to allow me to increase my carb levels without needing to worry too much about carb counting - it is a convenience thing with me, but allows me to be more relaxed about things. I am neither gaining or losing weight, and have reached a good place with it at 67 kg. [/QUOTE]
