[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2445768, member: 401801"] [SIZE=4]I haven't, but Dr. Google came up with this, under the medical professionals header.

Basically meaning you can't tell if you're hypo, when the medication makes you go hypo. Wonderful. :( It may be time to contact your pharmacy and discuss all of this with them, maybe they know of an alternative that wouldn't wreak havoc on your husband's blood sugars.
