Worst Hypo To Date

[oldnevada]

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.

 

[oldnevada]

Thanks... it's very tiring.

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.
