[QUOTE="shall2001, post: 316382, member: 49387"] Hi, I'm named Stuart and just been told I have type 2 last Monday. I live where I work near Southampton and I'm 48 I've just built up to taking 2x500 metformin twice a day today. I had a bad experience in the early hours of Saturday morning where I went to bed at 11.00 and my sugar level was 11, I then woke up with stomach pains and needing the toilet I got to the toilet and became very dizzy, sweating and shaking also thought I would pass out. I called my wife who quickly gave me some chocolate and took my blood levels which was 10.9. this lasted about 15 minutes or so, I did have diarrhea and I then seem to feel much better. Would this of been caused by the metformin or a hypo? I’m really unsure of everything at the moment, I seemed to of been getting my levels down from 17 last Monday at the doctors to last night before bed was 9.3 and when I got up this morning 9.7 and after breakfast (3 crumpets with a small amount of pro active spread ) for it to go up 2 hours later to 17.1, but I had taken my first 1000 metformin with breakfast and not 500 like the last few days. I’m not due to see the diabetic nurse until a week next Thursday for the first time. Can any one advise me on any info. [/QUOTE]
