Hypos

[bigsteve1967]

I am type 2 diabetic B/C started at 20/25 in December I have had my tablets increased every two weeks since then.
My blood count has come down from 20/25 to 9.5 last month my tablets
metformin was increased two in morning and two at night.
Gliz was increased to 1 at night and 1 in morning.
My blood count gone down every week for the last 3 weeks
My b/c now is between 3.9 to 4.2. Not got appointment with dieabetic nurse to 25/3.
Do I need too see nurse because I don't know if I'm having hypos.
Any advice plz

Anything below 4 is classed as hypo and anyone with good hypo awareness will realise just above 4

If you dont know you are having hypos then i would phone and have a word with the nurse

I know as soon as I get to 4.4 - 4.2 that the hypo is starting. You'll learn to spot the signs

Have you changed your diet recently to eat less carbs? If you have then you are probably on too much Gliz (do you mean gliclazide?). Get back to the nurse and get it reduced.

I know at about 3ish, by 2.5 I'm soaked in sweat, at 2 I'm on the floor.

I have found with my sugars running at a continuous high for a period of time that some hypos I feel from 5.

I had a 2.3 at work once, was seeing double, galazy eyed, couldn't get my words out.
So tricky! Xx
