[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2314812, member: 527609"] I've had an AlcoDigital AL7000 breathalyser for well over a year now. It's apparently the most reliable sub-£100 unit you can buy. I use it mostly for morning after testing, and won't drive unless it shows me less than half the legal limit (and preferably zero.) If it's a case of "you won't go hypo once the alcohol is out of your system", then happy days. I'm probably flapping over nothing. I perhaps don't fully understand the workings of Metformin, either. I understood that it boosts insulin sensitivity, but also reduces the amount of sugar your liver releases. It's that second part that worries me, if it reduces it when I need it, since the Libre is already showing me dipping below 4 sometimes. [/QUOTE]
