What you actually said was that "hypo's aren't really an issue."
You also stated "aim as low as we like."
Those were blanket statements, generalisations which anybody new here could misinterpret and think they weren't important? The forum is read by members and guests alike, who tend to believe much of what is said here, so therefore it should be factually correct, not just somebody's incorrect opinion.
Have you ever by any chance had a hypo? A level which is considered by all the medical community to be below 4 mmol/l. That is the accepted lower level which should be adhered to, dropping below that level could be a recipe for disaster. Do you drive? Do you know the rules regarding driving with low blood sugar levels?
I know of many posts on this forum and elsewhere where a member on diet only or metformin has had a hypo, usually because they have been doing something strenuous. They often complain of feeling shaky, losing concentration, generally feeling unwell etc and when they test they find levels of way below 4 mmol/l. Are you saying that isn't important just because it wasn't insulin induced? that's a very odd statement to make.
As for your link, your explanation, I don't need any education about this matter as I am fully aware of the pitfalls and possible dangers of anybody who has a hypo, be they diabetic or not.
Your assertion that those on metformin cannot hypo doesn't take into account the fact that many can and do, simply because other factors also have to be taken into account. I have heard some Dr's state that "you can't hypo, you are only on metformin" or "on diet only." That is a false assertion and members should be made aware that they can have hypo levels which need to be treated and not dismissed as 'not an issue.'
Perhaps you should do a bit more investigation before generalising and confusing newly diagnosed members. There was once some information here about hypo's which is what we are talking about, not about the OP, just your statement regarding hypo's.
Feel free to post whatever links you see fit, those of us experienced diabetics are fully aware of advised levels and do not need to be told to "aim as low as we like." Bekow 4 mmol/l is not somewhere ANY diabetic should aim for.
