[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 1602802, member: 345386"] Ajei - Unfortunately a number of posts have been moderated to remove content which may not have helped with your original query and be confusing for others reading your thread at a later date. In this diabetes malarkey every day's a school day and there's so much to learn and absorb, with so many personal nuances and experiences. I would however reiterate what other posters have posted, in that T2 diabetics can have hypos, although for those on fairly "gentle" medication they are rarely medically concerning. However, as you are on Gliclazide, it's action is somewhat stronger, in terms of driving your blood glucose numbers downwards. Glicazide,works by stimulating your pancreas to produce more of it's own insulin, so, it is perfectly possible to have hypos, and the numbers you post, of under 4, suggest you are going a bit on the low side, which is too dangerous to ignore. Bearing that in mind, please do be vigilant, and treat your hypos, in the way that your health care professional has told you to. If for whatever reason, you weren't advised on hypo treatments, you might find this page to be of use: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/how-to/treat-a-hypo.html[/URL] . The site also has a hypo-awareness programme that could be worth a look. As others have suggested, it would be useful to discuss your recent hypos with your health care professional, in order to agree a way forward. It's great news your numbers are coming down, but it's important that your medications and lifestyle remain matched. Good luck with it all. [/QUOTE]
