[QUOTE="slip, post: 1617412, member: 182669"] I'm not up on HGV license rules and hypo inducing medication, but no one can force you to accept/take the medication they have prescribed - but that is entirely up to you. (Also I'm not entirely sure your weight/BMI can be used as a marker for the next type of medication - although weight can play apart in insulin resistance) If you haven't already get a blood glucose testing kit, you'll be very lucky if the doc prescribes you testing strips for one, most T2s have to self fund - there are 2 that have the cheaper strips but memory has failed me at the mo as to their names....! (Tee2 and one something!) Test before eating and 2hrs after, basically if the post meal test is 2mmol above the pre-meal - probably best to avoid or reduce the portion of the meal. Eat to your meter basically. But what ever you decide you will have to work at it. (Seems in the 9 weeks since your original post nothing has really changed, apart from getting nearer to loosing your livelihood) [/QUOTE]
