Sugar, in all it's iterations.
Just had a reading of 3.2mmol/l. Took 1 and 1/2 dextrose. Slowly creeping back up. That was bad!!
 
Sorry to hear... glad you are ok.
 
I've noticed you're on Metformin and have been told previously that T2 shouldn't get hypos when on Metformin.

What were you eating / doing in the hours prior to this?

I think the Glyburide can cause hypos though

If you're having lots of hypos, perhaps a chat with your Doc about dosages could be in order?
 
Oh yeah! Doctor told me to expect low swings in my BG on Glyburide, Cyclist. I will ask him next time I see him about reducing my Glyburide dosage. That was one nasty hypo, for sure. Thanks, all!
 
Expecting hypos to happen is bad medicine. I would phone your surgery and tell them you want to stop taking them.
If you are getting hypos, then your blood glucose levels are low enough to stop taking them!
 
I was constantly getting hypos but since coming off my meds they're not so frequent anymore. Definitely talk to your Dr about reducing your meds.
