[QUOTE="Grazer, post: 242815, member: 31362"] Good bedside manner! We all know what the medical terms mean, it's the context in which they're used which is misleading to new diabetics. like you referring to the "dangers" of hypos to T2s on diet only when they can only ever be "mild" for those people to use your terminology. Was that humour? Or boasting to Borofergie? Not your strong suit. Wasn't it you talking about bad messages to give new diabetics? Your links in your answer to borofergie don't really prove your point do they. The diabetes uk link is simply talking about what a hypo is, not who might get it or how badly. Your other link actually says "[i]Hypoglycaemia is most commonly associated with diabetes, and mainly occurs if someone with diabetes takes too much insulin, misses a meal, or exercises too hard. Some diabetes treatments, such as certain tablets, can also cause hypoglycaemia.[/i] Again, it doesn't talk about type 2's as such, and in fact points out that it's INSULIN, and only CERTAIN tablets that normally cause it. Once again, it's the DEGREE of just how low the blood sugar is that is important. All the "pontificators" you refer to so eloquently understand that everyone can get low blood sugar, and have said so, and as you said, there are different levels of hypo from mild to severe; the point you seem to struggle to understand is that the dangerous hypos, as Pneu summarised well, are those associated with insulin use.
