A lot of good info here.
I am type 2 diabetic.
My new med dose is
2 mgs gimperide and 1000 mgs of metformin.

My old dose before it was changed was 2,000 metformin and 4mgs of glimperide.


When I got low sometimes I didnt know it was low until it got really low around 60 to 49.

Only had 60 or below twice since I got diagnosed like 3 years ago.

Now I can recognize when its low better. Haven't got in the 50's in a long long time.
