Been diagnosed type 2 approx 3 weeks now. On Metformin 2x500mg. My dn said I don't need to test my blood myself as I would never go high enough to have a hyper attack. She said I don't need to count carbs or anything just eat healthy. But she said that it was possible for me to go too low into hypo. I've noticed a few times if I've been busy & not ate for a few hrs, my tounge gets tingly & I feel bit dizzy. I've looked it up & it seems like my levels too low & I need to eat. So I do & after about 10mins or so I'm ok.
I mentioned this today & she said that shouldn't happen because Metformin won't let you go too low. Now that's the opp of what she said before & now I'm totally confused. If I don't test then how do I know if I'm low or not? What should I eat & how often should I eat? My heads all over the place trying to figure this all out.
I'd be so delighted if anyone would please take the time to advise me on this. Thank you.
