[QUOTE="saz1, post: 101935, member: 13621"] I was told I wouldn't get hypos as a type 2 with such high blood sugars. but lo and behold, after cutting out potatoes,rice,pasta and bread, 3 1/2 stone weightloss, increased activity I started to have hypos every couple of weeks or so. Low readings of 3.3 and thereabouts meant that I had to go back to basics and review my meds, diet and possible reasons for these hypos with my GP. It seems my insulin resistance is variable and is linked to hormonal activity to a degree so I'm more prone to hypos at certain times a month and have then increased my wholegrain carb intake for those days when I know I'm heading down towards a hypo. My work does not allow regular breaks or set meal times so I have to gauge my days on a daily basis. Now I always have some sweets or a cereal bar to scoff if I feel iffy. But my strategy is paying off, I'm not having hypos at the moment and bs levels are still steady. I suppose \I'm lucky since I feel an approaching hypo from a bs of 4.2 and under so am getting enough warning to be able to carry on my normal day withoiut sick time. [/QUOTE]
