    If your blood sugar level drops below 60, I recommend stopping your medication, eating a small snack, and consulting a health professional as soon as possible.  Your physician can make the appropriate changes to your medications.  Do not delay seeing a medical provider because prolonged discontinuation of a diabetes medication can have serious adverse effects.
