beyond scary? When you get so off-balance with your systems and you get out of it and shaky and all... Good thing you brought some 'emergency supplies' with you! I always have some in my car...I'm not diabetic, nor pre-diabetic, but am hypyglycemic. Similar actions/reactions...different reasons.

Ok you asked about Metformin, here is the full prescribing patient info for it:

All 40 pages of it! It's not the quick and dirty version, but it is the complete version. Take time to read it all in bits...as it's a lot of info, AND with your other issues and meds it's really going to be up to you to see if it's going to work well.

As for the pill test thing? Do you have anymore specific things to go on? I recall Billye[Silverlady] had one, and maybe Cycleops? I'm drawing a blank about other folks tho. Oh yes! Cheryl from Oregon had a similar test with odd results - that's all I recall. Wish I could be more useful. 's for now tho? - j
