[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1592791, member: 94045"] Linagliptin works by encouraging the pancreas to produce extra insulin, and it also reduces the amount of glucagon produced in the pancreas. Glucogen triggers the liver to produce glucose in times of fasting overnight, between meals etc. (Liver dump) When someone has normal glucose levels, as you seem to have from what you say, you actually [B]need[/B] the liver to produce this glucose to stop you going too low into hypo territory overnight and between meals. This situation is made worse because the Linagliptin is also making the pancreas produce extra insulin - which again can make your levels to low. It seems like a double whammy to me.. Your 1.9 was very low. I hope you had a quick remedy to hand. If you change anything, it needs to be the Linagliptin, but you must speak to a doctor about this - we can't advise you either way. Make an appointment quickly, hopefully with a GP that understands how Linaglitin works. I do not agree with adding carbs to fit the medicine.
