[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 2261151, member: 21149"] Hi. The advice to reduce the carbs is the most important thing for your husband but it will be difficult to change the typical diet of his culture; he can only try. I would ask for the Metformin to be increased. The max is usually 2000mg/day which I was on for many years. It doesn't do a lot but is worth having. There are one or two other meds that may be possible but best to do the diet first. BTW a blood sugar finger prick test below 20 is not good but not dangerous in the short-term. If it goes regularly into the 20s then that isn't good and needs further GP help. [/QUOTE]
