[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 1751043, member: 372717"] Interestingly, my Dad's been T2 for 7 years, on 3 * 500mg metformin. He's been told not to test and appears to be stable, on a lowish carb diet (probably less than 100g per day but more than 50g). He's 87 and has quite a lot of health issues, but none of them obviously T2 related. Honestly, for someone his age, whose HbA1Cs are stable on less than the max dose of metformin, I can see the argument for not testing. I've just told him to avoid carbs as much as possible. He says his DN told him to have an afternoon snack/biscuit at 4pm which I don't really understand, as I thought you couldn't get hypo from metformin??? [/QUOTE]
