I'm slightly surprised the Dr didn't start with Metformin and then add some Glic if needed. If you have excess weight that would be the normal approach plus the low-carb diet. The 40mg dose of Glic is very low and almost certainly wouldn't cause a hypo. If someone has a hypo with Glic then the dose needs reducing as it implies the beta cells are working quite well and don't need much stimulating with the Glic. A T2 with excess weight is unlikely to benefit from Glic as the problem will be insulin resistance and Metformin can be more useful.  You could try a low-carb diet at first without any meds. As for statins, see what your lipids ratios are and if needed have the minimum statins dose needed to get them right.</p></blockquote><p></p>
