welcome Laura I'm type 2 also. Are you on any medication to help control your diabetes? Sometimes those medications can cause lows. I'm now on full time insulin myself as I no longer produce enough insulin of my own. I've experienced more hypos on insulin, although I did have hypos when I was on oral meds too. I tend to have high BGLs mostly though. At the moment I'm having troubles getting any pattern happening due to illness. Keep us posted on how you're doing.
