[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2652142, member: 506169"] Hi [USER=289056]@Ricku2[/USER] It is almost unheard of for a Type 2 on diet alone to suffer from real hypos, though many suffer from false hypos after their BG has dropped substantially and quickly. Non-diabetics and Type 2's on diet alone, do get sometimes get low BG and never know about it because they don't test. But they get no symptoms because their liver quicky dumps some glucose into their bloodstream and the BG soon rises. Unless you are taking some BG lowering medication that we are unaware of, I think that on balance your Gp's response is quite reasonable- [B]except that it is useful to test around meals in order to find which foods to avoid.[/B] [/QUOTE]
