I was diagnosed Type 2, 18 months ago and was put on 500mg Metformin 4 times a day.
Started having hypo's so GP cut it down to 3 x 500mg a day, all was ok until recently when I started having hypos all the time so stopped the metformin .
Told GP who cant understand it so ordered a h1bc test, GP surgery wont give me results just said no further action required.
I said I only want to know what number the mmols was but told cant give you that as not medically trained, meanwhile I still keep having hypo's going down as low as 3.0 sometimes testing using Freestyle libre and once it was that low it said it could not read as glucose level too low.
Freestyle Libre estimates my h1bc test at 41mmol, luckily for me I do get signs that I am going low but cant understand why.
