Hi, I am a nurse also. I am type 2 diabetic and an asthmatic. I do feel pretty concerned. I do feel quite nervous about the whole situation. Hope you are ok.
Wow! That is a big drop. Mine was 5.5 last night. I thought i might have a hypo at night, so i had 1 biscuit. This morning my bgs are 6.6. Can any body tell me if you have a bg of 5.5 at night, r u likely to have a hypo over night.
Just started glimepiride today. Felt very nervous because nurse was saying i can experience hypo's sometimes. After 3 hours of taking the tablet my blood sugar went from 8.6 to 4.9, which made me more nervous. Need some support. Anyone else on glimepiride? Do you suffer from hypo's?

@debrasue getting your blood glucose at 42 from 63 is a great achievement without medication.
About complications I was reading that they can start developing in about 5 years. That's what scared me really.
@debrasue Is it the low carb program on here that you follow. Need to find some recipes...
