[QUOTE="graham64, post: 112625, member: 10150"] Ken, I thought we were talking about DIAGNOSED DIABETICS and Hypo's here :!: . I'll reiterate I have never had anything even resembling a hypo since diagnosis. The following probably explains why; [url=http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/#nodiabetes]http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/h ... nodiabetes[/url] I have NEVER experienced Hypoglycaemia symptoms since DIAGNOSIS, different thing altogether. So kind of you to be impressed, but I have always implied that I have never experienced any symptoms since “Diagnosis”. That you wish to expand this topic to a lifestyle pre-diabetes theme is your decision, I have no intention of being drawn into it :wink: . Anyhow I never liked Yoga Bear :lol: :lol: :lol: SINCE DIAGNOSIS controlling my diet by restricting carbohydrates and avoiding high spikes has got my diabetes under control and has avoided the necessity for medications. As the thread title says “It's the medication that's dangerous”,though some medications including metformin are not implicated when taken alone. For a list of Diabetic and other medications/medical conditions that can cause Hypoglycaemia see the following link; [url=http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/#nodiabetes]http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/h ... nodiabetes[/url] They say confessions good for the soul :lol: Like I've said many times before some people have no choice due to late diagnosis and other medical conditions. As I eat 4 meals a day plus snacks. I'd say there is a difference as the 20 -25g per meal would equate to 80 -100g per day for me. I can't handle the level of carbs per meal that you eat, breakfast for instance has got to be minimal carbs, that leaves about 50g to be spread through 3 meals and snacks. Your original :wink: post did state two or three Glucotabs and a snack hence the 20g carbs that you could consume, so shall we'll say 14-18g then :| I'll take your word for that :lol: :lol: :lol: Merry Christmas to all :D Graham [/QUOTE]
