[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2309000, member: 345386"] My medical record has the status "Diabetes Resolved", since the end of 2014. I still receive an annual A1c (result in today, curiously enough), still have annual eye screening. I only ever once had my feet checked, although as a matter of personal "housekeeping" I check them myself (accepting the sensitivity test can't really be self-administered properly). To be honest, the numbers you quote, whilst uncomfortable for you are not medically concerning hypos, bearing in mind you are diet controlled. I regularly see those numbers, and feel fine. At the 3.2, and under, I'd likely be hungry and due to eat, but I don't "treat" then in the way a T1, or someone on hypoglycaemic drugs would. I just either wait for my meal, if it is very close to ready, or have a cup of tea, with some milk in it. My challenge to you would be, if you take no meds and are diet controlled, how do you know it is the meds making you low, and not just your system becoming more efficient? [/QUOTE]
