I'm only going to comment on this statement, . As a matter of

fact, there *are* oral medications that type 2s take which mimic

insulin, and which can cause lows - I'm on one, glyburide. At times I

have a terrible problem with lows, and my frequent testing has

prevented some nasty results. However, I know from my time in Korea

that treatments vary from place to place - I couldn't refill my

glyburide prescriptions in a Korean pharmacy, and had to have my

mother send it to me from Canada.

Hi Melisma, It is good to talk to you ;-) I read the above and it reminded

me of the time they tried glyburide on me. I had terrible lows and asked my dr

to change me to metformin (glucophage) result, no more lows, just good

A1c's. Hugs, marilyn
