Brief Answer:
About hypoglycemia;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
You should try not to take a load of carbohydrate in the morning and stay than more than 4 hours without eating.
To avoid hypoglycemia you should try to eat at least 5 times per day, three main meals and 2 snacks.
Metformine is recommended after dinner, if you have only one dose per day.
There is no need to get worried. Hypoglicemia will be avoided by taking regular meals.
Best wishes,
Dr.Mirjeta Guni
