At early morning around 5.00 A.M normally use to have hypoglycemia so i have to get up earlier before that time.My doubt is it correct time to get up to have tea or coffee.Or I am getting earlier hypoglycemia .

hi. early morning hypo comes when ur insulin or medicine that is working for longer period dosage is more. If ur taking longer time acting insulin like mixtards or lanctus u have to reduce that , and early mng hypos are a hindrance to do ur mng routines like walking or exercises properly. see ur medicine timing also is maintained consult ur doctor and use a gluocometre test ur blood for continuous 3 days fasting, after food, and noon after food after two hours watch out when its high and when its low note that to ur physician or adjust ur diet and medicine accordingly. u wil be fine.

Dear Seelakari...I wish to inform you that I am facing the similar problem. I am on 2mg Glimer, half for three times a day and Glyycephase 500 mg, one tablet twice a day. My Doctor told me to reduce the Glimer 2mg dose, taking it twice a day instead of thee times a day. Presently I am not in touch with the doctor. Can you please advice me as to which dose out of three I should avoid.

My legs have swollen and weight is increasing in spite of low food intake. I used to walk regularly, but lately I am not feeling like walking and getting exhausted. Please advise.
