[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 642416, member: 85785"] If you are going hypo and your fasting bloods are at a normal level, I would stop taking the metformin, even though, long term it won't make that much difference. In the meantime have extra small meals during the day and keep monitoring. As few carbs as you can manage, low GI foods, but small snacks all day even if it means having 9 or 10 small meals a day. I am reactive hypoglycaemic, please don't treat hypos with high sugar recovery like glucose or lucozade, your bloods will go up and down. If you get into where you are not in control. Just stop eating or drinking altogether until your fasting bloods normalise. I know you will see your GP, but stress that the hypos you are having are causing you concerned and list all the symptoms. There is threads and articles about RH, learn about them. Also read about hypoglycaemia which different than RH. Ask away, I will follow this thread. [/QUOTE]
