[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2530310, member: 506169"] As far as I understand (no personal experience of Hypos) in a Hypo you need a fast acting (i.e. highly refined or sugary) carb because Hypos are dangerous. Though this is based upon the experience of Type 1's on insulin rather than Type 2's on Glic. But the objective must be to reduce/taper the glic so that you no longer get a hypo overnight/early morning. The idea of taking the whole 80mg with breakfast may work, though I suspect that if the 40mg evening dose is having such an effect, you don't really need any more than 40mg per day taken in the morning. You need to make good use of your BG meter to confirm this! [/QUOTE]
