amaryl, etc.

I was on a combination of amaryl and metformin when a low blood sugar
snuck up on me and I woke up on my kitchen floor and could not get up. 
I found my wireless phone in the wreckage and called 911, giving them
the old line from the commercial "Help, I've fallen ... " They 911 lady
was still on the phone with me when the firemen and paramedics came in
the door. They stuck a bag of glucose in my arm and when I got to the
E.R. my sugar was all the way up to 75.

As a result of that episode they had me ditch the metformin and cut the 
Amaryl dose in half - down to 4 mg. Then after looking at the blood work
from my next visit halved it again to 2 mg.

I darned sure don't want to repeat that diabetic coma episode. I have
found that the web site from which I got this recipe to be a good tool
in my battle with blood sugars. Abnd most of the recipes are tasty.
