[QUOTE="andersl, post: 1637451, member: 440026"] The endocrinologist told me I have idiopathic postprandial syndrome. .. ie my blood sugar stays within normal range. However it is usually in the low 4s before eating and I have had 3.9 recorded a few hours after a hypo. If I exercise extensively ... like a 3 hour walk. .. I then go into a deep sleep for 3 hours. My bg is around 4.1 before I become 'comatose '(?). Although I've had a 3 hour gt test I'm not convinced that my levels don't fall below 4 more often. I've been prescribed metformin which I understand lowers bg. I haven't started taking it yet as I've read it lowers bg and with usual readings in the low 4s it concerns me that it might take it below 4. Any advice /thoughts? [/QUOTE]
