Exactly. I said that I knew of no SERIOUS side effects, not that there
were no serious side effects. I listed side effects that I did know of,
such as dizziness, sweating, shaking, slurred speech. I was also
speaking of primary hypoglycemia, NOT low blood sugar in
hyperglycemics/diabetics brought about by insulin shock. I am not
diabetic. I am hypoglycemic.
Thank you for your support Lars.
