Em, you just want an excuse to eat chocolate!! Or cheesecake...

Neil, I agree with Deus about cutting the insulin and testing hourly, so that you can work out exactly when you are hypoing and why, whether it is in conjunction with your meal-time shots or more to do with your basal being too high. I'd be having a good chat to your endo and/or DE about it all, don't go playing around with the metformin etc before you do. And don't let your DE just brush you off this time! Hypos are serious, and not much fun to deal with.

Also, I know you're doing heaps better with the carbs and all that stuff, but do you have some sort of book to help you out with all the counting and the like?

Keep working hard Big Bro, you'll get there!

Kit.
