My dentist says I have a very small oral-nasal fissure that has to be fixed. Does anyone know how its done (without scaring the wits out of me!)?

I don't like my mouth being fiddled with after a nasty extraction last year, does it HAVE to be mended?

I have been type 2 for the last ten years and taking insulin plus metfo for two years. I take Novorapid with meals and Levemir at night. I have been struggling with hypos since yesterday and don't know why.

I have not had a sudden weight change, have not changed my exercise regime and am not aware of a sudden change in my health. I am not eating less and have not changed what I eat or when I eat so why am I suddenly getting hypos (three in the last 24 hours)?

Last night I ate a normal evening meal (meat, veg, two potatoes, no dessert), halved my normal insulin dose and still went hypo about 9.30pm. This is the same thing as happened the night before when I needed 1 litre orange juice, biscuits, toast and 30g dextrose to stop the hypo and it took 2 hours to get it under control. Fortunately last nice a glass of orange juice and a slice of toast did the trick.

I have asked my consultant about the bad hypo, she said these things happen and didn't know why. But I need to understand it!
