Hi @smigger62 ,

One possible reason for this (without knowing the details) is that your body has got used to high blood sugar levels. If you've bought them down quickly it can take a while to readjust to 'normal' levels.

As a T1 it took me about 12 weeks for false hypos to stop. You could try a few more carbs, see if it makes a difference and then bring your levels down slowly.

Metformin can also make people feel a bit 'tom and ****' with upset stomachs etc.

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Prob due to getting used to lower levels.if you've been running higher levels since diagnosedin 2006 (I think this is the date you said previously in a posting) then your body has been used to running high.

Has your nurse changed any meds recently? I take it you are not on insulin yet?
