[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 405443, member: 40343"] That may or may not be the case but the medical fraternity certainly differentiates between grades of hypos, there causes and there effects see [url]http://www.jdcjournal.com/article/S1056-8727(05)00119-4/fulltext[/url] which comes from the large UKPDS study that a great deal of diabetes treatment in this country is based around. The UKPDS figures divide hypo's into 4 strengths. (1) transitory symptoms not affecting normal activity (2) temporarily incapacitated but patient able to control symptoms without help (3) incapacitated and required assistance to control symptoms (4) required medical attention or glucagon injection For diet only diabetics 8 in 1000 report a hypo of some description 1 in 1000 report a hypo where they actually needed to do something about it i.e level 2 to 4 For metformin diabetics 17 in 1000 report a hypo of some description 3 in 1000 report a hypo where they actually needed to do something about it. i.e level 2 to 4 Why not have an adult debate rather than purposefully spinning everything into a personal attack and me, me, me.
