[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2117197, member: 401801"] A hypo means your bloodsugars are too low. If there is more insulin than you actually need, your bloodsugars drop like a stone. That can get dangerous. You could become confused, lose motor function, pass out, or even slip into a coma. So if you go for a drive, you're legally required, when on meds like this, to check your bloodsugars before you go, because you could get an accident if you're too low. (Usually it's 5 to drive, so that would be 90 to you.). It doesnt happen with metformin though, so you can safely keep taking that on low carb, but don't mix the NovoNorm with low carb... You'll crash & burn. [/QUOTE]
