Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mrsimonc" data-source="post: 2534328" data-attributes="member: 558253">Hi everyone I need advice as I am somewhat confused. I was diagnosed with reactive hypoglycaemic. My yearly HB1AC came back as 50 (twice) and no my doctor want to put me on slow releasing metformin. I am always having hypos after eating irrespective of what I’m eating low or high carb.  I purchased a freestyle Libre CGM and have been using it for the last two weeks. My average glucose is 5.4 with an estimated HB1AC of 30. my confusion is how can I have a high HB1AC with a low Average blood glucose.  Won’t the metformin  lower my blood glucose more. There are more questions and confusion but the main thing is how can I be a type 2 diabetic with a high HB1AC when I’m producing loads of insulin to have a hypo and have low blood glucose levels regularly?help me understand pleasethanks</blockquote>
