[QUOTE="Patch, post: 334849, member: 13526"] If you wanna avoid hypo's - use the meter that gves you the lower readings. If you REALLY wanna avoid hypo's - STOP TAKING SO MUCH MEDICATION! You're type 2, right? A hypo in a T2 is pretty likely just an overdose of medication relative to what you've eaten. This happens when a T2 takes the same medication, at the same time everyday without considering what they have eaten/are going to eat. My Dad is one of these people - he gets "hypos" when he hasn't eaten a bar of chocolate with his lunch BUT STILL TAKES METFORMIN AND GLICLAZIDE - because the Doctor told him to... He's under the impression that he gets a hypo because he DIDN'T eat chocolate - NOT because he took BG lowering drugs. :crazy: I dispair. Good luck with the hypos- I sincerely mean that, :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
