[Diabetes-talk] Another question...like I haven't sparked enoughconversation? LOL!

[Michael Park]

If my HBa1C is round about 6.0, I am happy, but if it drops to below 
6.0, I start having a lot of hypo's. Before I went onto Metformin, I 
used Glycomin and had the most impressive HBA1C of 5.4, but with it, ten 
million hypos, at least one a day and sometimes even as many as three or 
four times a day.

I am not an expert, because "ex" means "has been" and "spert" is "a drip under pressure".
