[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 1759001, member: 101136"] Hi [USER=471351]@Allanmax[/USER] , Good news about getting the meter. I agree with [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] above... What I would suggest (in addition.) is, if you have another episode? (False hypo or not.) treat it first then test immediately on a finger that hasn't handled food... Reason being. A blood sample for a meter reading shows what your blood was doing approximately 15minutes ago? (Like a snapshot in time..) If it is a hypo? Then, the right thig was done. If it happens to be a falsie!? Well, nothing clues one up than a meter. I have no reason to disbelieve that metformin can occasionally contribute to low BG. My T2 dad used to drop to 2.8 until he was pulled off the met. He also lowered his carb intake by around 60%? (One of the rare T2s on met prescribed his own meter.) I epathise with your syptoms. [USER=471351]@Allanmax[/USER] . Now you have a tool to gauge why. :) [/QUOTE]
