Hubby was given Gilcazide tabs and the difference is clear!!! He has put on some weight and is eating and feeling better. Problen is that he gets'hypos' often. Last week he went for a checkup and BG was 4.5. Nurse said to watch it as it could go too low. He has had two episodes recently where he starts shaking and sweating profusely. When he eats or drinks something sweet he feels instantly better. Is this normal? He wasnot told what BG to aim for.
 
They could be what is called "Re-Bound Hypo's"

When the body is used to a certian level of sugar in bloodstream and is reduced, (due to meds) the body can react with the change in BG levels, making the person feel like they are having a hypo, the sypmtoms and feelings are the same but the BG is not at a dangerous level. Always double check that it is not a real hypo tho
