Hi, I take 80mg Gliclazide per day. Also, 850x3mg Metformin. The Metformin is mild. The Gliclazide is relatively strong and requires attention to avoid hypoglycemia. I have been careful but occasionally it does happen, and it is quite unpleasant, and leading to sleeping after recovery of the typical symptoms, such as chest pain, etc. I cut this drug into two and take one for lunch and one for supper.
So, because I eat a very small breakfast, I experimented with leaving the 1/2 tablet and noticed that my bg is within the acceptable good diabetic range.
I wonder if that is something good to that, and if 80mg of g has more side effects than 40mg.
Thanks for any feedback. I have been diabetic for 5 yrs. and just came back from my dr. who reported excellent A1C and blood results, including createnine.
Thank you very much for reading.
