[QUOTE="GrannyAnnie, post: 1018805, member: 181582"] Hi, I was recently taken into hospital by ambulance suffering from what turned out to be urinary sepsis! I had been unable to keep anything down for a couple of days before being admitted and therefore had none of my meds in my system by then. (btw I am t2 well controlled on 1000mg metformin twice a day, 1x 50mg sitagliptin per day and 120mg gliclazide twice a day. Have been t2 for 3 and a half years). What is puzzling me is that they stopped my statin and my metformin whilst I was in hospital, but no-one told me if I should start taking them again??? I found that without the metformin, my BG was staying higher than it usually is. I started taking them again and straight away got the upset tummy big time! But I also found I was getting at least one hypo per day! (i was getting at least one a day before I was ill). If metformin can't cause hypo's, why did I start getting them again when I resumed taking metformin??? Any ideas??? I have not started taking the statins again. [/QUOTE]
