[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 642590, member: 85785"] Maybe [USER=95489]@runner2009[/USER] your friends are either carb or sugar intolerant and not diabetic. I am carb intolerant and I am not diabetic. I have RH. They should not be driving untreated with those conditions and you don't feed a fire you want to put out with more excellerant, You are right about metformin. However, he needs to keep his bloods constantly normal if they are fluctuating. It is this that is giving him the classical hypo symptoms. He needs control over his diet and to eat regular low carb meals so he doesn't crash after a spike! If his post prandial tests show he is a late onset and drop in BSLs, the pancreas is producing or flushing too much insulin. The insulin is lowering blood levels too far as a reaction to over carbing. If he eats lo carb meals regular(2-3 hours) then he will prevent the late onset flushing. The only other way is fasting which the body naturally normalises BSLs because RH is a non diabetic condition. Another reason could be diabetic hypoglycaemia! [/QUOTE]
