My results in January was 5.8. They were talking about me coming off my Metformin. [emoji1][emoji1][emoji1][emoji1]

I am throwing up and cannot figure out what's caused it. This has happened several times.

What I meant was "if your blood sugars levels are within range"

Even if your blood sugar levels are low?

Does anyone else feel ill if they have to many carbs while on slow release Metformin?

I am T2 and feel awful at 4.4 :-(

Sorry I am not on insulin. I never saw that. I was diagnosed as Type 2, 2 years ago. I am on slow release Metformin and have cut my carbs down. My HbcA1 ( sorry I know that's probably not right) is down to 5.7.

4.4 I have had it happen to often for it not to be a hypo. I wake up feeling nauseous and clammy. I have this gittery feeling in my stomach and feel really unwell and unsteady on my feet.

I am on Metformin, although not putting weight on I am not losing weight either. Going to the gym twice a week and walking the dog other days.

Yes slow release Metformin. Tried standard Metformin but as I already have IBS I couldn't take it.

Thank you for all your replies. I know the readings are good but the thing is if my readings drop below 5 in the night I have a hypo. I normal eat a few jelly babies if it is near 5 but I don't want to eat any if there is no need to. If the actual reading is 5.9 I wouldn't need to eat anything.

Hi as my blood sugar levels are always low before I go to bed I decided to take them on the 3 monitors that I have. The readings are 5, 5.3 & 5.9. Two of the monitors I did do test on them and both showed they were working okay. I don't know which one to believe. Any ideas ?

My brother was diagnosed as T2 when he was 65 He was not overweight and excersised his dog twice a day. I developed T2 at 65 as well. Our sister has not devolved it!
