Hi
Still working on getting my bg under control. While I was on metfomin SR 500mg OD I had a couple of occasions just before dinner so late afternoon that I felt very shaky. That was before I got my meter so cannot say what was happening with my bg but I am guessing it had gone lower than I am used to at the moment. Saw GP on Wednesday who increased me up to 1000mg Metformin SR od. On both Thurs and Fri before tea I ahve come over very hot, sweaty and shaking, checked bg immediately 5.1 and 5.5 mmol/L. This is low for me because all my other readings have been 8-18.2mmol/L.
I know I cannot have hypo's becuase on metformin but felt unwell today for about an hour. I normally have my breakfast (plain oats so simple and sultanas) between 11.00-12.00 (long story) then my tea at about 17.00. Has anyone any suggestions what is going on and what I should do?
Thanks
Jo
