I am getting repeated episodes of hypogycaemia and need

So, hypo spells may occur once patients with type 2 diabetes lose a significant amount of weight. The effect of insulin on tissues is enhanced in the presence of anti diabetic drugs leading to low sugars. That effect however is more common with drugs like sufonylureas and is not commonly seen with Metformin or Empagliflozin. You should ideally be kept under observation for 24-48 hours and if you get an attack of hypo then blood samples may be collected and tested for insulin levels and C peptide to rule out a possibility of insulinoma which is a rare but important cause. Other causes of hypoglycemia include conditions like

- hepatic or kidney failure

- severe infections

- cortisol deficiency/addison disease

- excessive use of alcohol

It would be prudent to schedule an appointment with your doctor and get evaluated for this.

Please let me know if you have other, related queries. I will be happy to answer. Thanks.

Simple sugars are good for quick recovery but complex carbs/starches will have a more prolonged effect. Just consume rice, bread etcetera at regular intervals(like every 4-5 hours) and in case you get an attack of hypo then take simple sugars/sweets. Avoid use of alcohol or any other drugs/supplements you might be taking.

I don't believe thyroid testing is needed specifically for hypo attacks but doctors may request screening as multiple endocrinological disorders may exist together.

Thats because endogenous insulin has more effect on lean tissue than fat and excess fat causes resistance against insulin.

Glucagon production may be reduced in type 1 diabetes but that's unlikely to be the cause in your case. You're probably producing more insulin than needed.

You can't do that naturally. Evlautaion would be needed to find a cause first.
