Hi. I've been doing really well on a very low carb diet, having come off my Gliclazide (own choice) as it wasn't being particularly effective (despite being doubled from 80 to 160 mg)....and levels had really dropped, but yesterday my BS spiked unusually (going from 5.9 premeal to 9.8 a couple of hours later and rising to 10.4,taking about five hours to drop into the normal range again). My meal had next to no carbs in it. I checked with a separate meter, so it's definitely the level. Question is...I still have some Gliclazide, and think I will try some later today as maybe it will have a better effect now that my diet is under control. I also have a wee spike from a steroid I take and that was coming down nicely too but it's up today for first time in ages. Not a good day at all. Pretty fed up atm. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Anyone on this kind of diet who had stopped taking Gliclazide and went back on it? Any joy at all?
