I finally got to start Metformin. Was a bit disappointed by the lack of the not so nice side effects that the diabetes nurse, the pharmacist and my parents told me that I would get! Also bought a glucose monitor from Amazon. It has a hypo alert as well as helpful images at the bottom of an apple and an eaten apple. I never expected the hypo one to go off, but it did last night. What's strange is that I didn't have any symptoms that I've read about re hypos. I just like to check my levels a couple of times a day (joys of working nights). I hadn't eaten for a couple of hours. Does this mean I can start carrying around a small chocolate bar/bag of sweets in case it drops again? (It only went to 3.8)
