Eating regular, balanced meals, limiting sugary foods and drinks, staying active and keeping a healthy weight are essential. Carry glucose or a sugary snack, and check your blood sugar as advised.
This medicine can cause low blood sugar, especially if you miss or delay meals, drink alcohol or exercise more than usual; symptoms include shaking, sweating, hunger, a fast heartbeat and confusion, and should be treated straight away with glucose or sugar. Do not take this medicine with gemfibrozil, as this can cause severe low blood sugar.
