People like you stand by and watch while others are in trouble then think you know it all after the event, this person needed help and everything pointed to a hypoI understand that you that you were trying to help, but I think it needed pointing out that it's wise to check what medication people are on and what form of diabetes they have.Before offering what could be inappropriate advice
People like me ??? You don't know meeverything pointed to a hypo
All the symptoms said hypo, or have you never had one ?People like me ??? You don't know me
Oh and by the way, T2 on Metformin ? Nothing pointed to a hypo
Sorry but it did feel like it to my unknowledgable head. Had I known before I had it I wouldn't of panicked. But I didn't and what little I've read about hypos which is vertually nothing because I've been told I'm never going to get them, I had every sign of a real one.People like me ??? You don't know me

Hi @Allanmax. Glad your feeling better. Defo get onto your GP about a meter especially with you working on machinery. Loads to take in when 1st diagnosed, trust me it will get easier
Sorting one out today, wife been on to the doctors. If not I'm buying one. It's only money and I need to sort it. Thanks for help.
False hypo? ****** **** that's a another thing? Just had a banana and half a marathon bar and it seems to be receding a little. God that's scarey
Edited by mod for language.
He will be a very lucky person indeed if he gets testing equipment on prescription. He is T2 on Metformin only. He is no more likely to hypo than a non-diabetic. (He could, but it is extremely rare). Working machinery/driving only come into play for T2s if we are on blood glucose lowering drugs, which Metformin isn't. Sad, but true. At best he may be given a meter and a few strips, but these will be insufficient and likely to be withdrawn on his next review.
