    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    I'm on gliclazide which seems to be super powerful! Lol. I have 20mg 4 days a week (didn't even have it yesterday when I had a hypo). I knew I was out all day so had x2 wholemeal toast for breakfast and lunch I even made sure to have a jacket potato. I had a few snacks with carbs too. I had a...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Good morning :) I hope you're all well. 4.5 this morning. Had another hypo of 2.8 last night at work...lowest it's ever been. Felt very dizzy but had my orange & carbs and felt fine 20 mins later. Can having a long day (was out 16 hours) and feeling tired cause a hypo?

    I've only been on gliclazide about a month so haven't had a test yet to see my overall level but I test 4 times a day and they are normally between 4-7. I've had a few hypos (originally started on 40mg..too much so lowered) lowest being 2.8. Thankfully I only seem to be having a hypo 1 a week.

    I'm sure your doctor will fill you in more :) make sure they give you a blood testing machine too as it can sometimes cause hypos. 20mg is a smaller dose though. What type of mody do you have? I'm 1a.

    About a month ago I started 20mg gliclazide as well. The only thing I would say with it is not to skip meals and eat regularly x

    Gliclazide and alcohol

    Thank you all for your comments :) I had a few drinks...only got a little merry lol. I did run slightly high as did take my machine (13) but seeing as I decided to have a pasta dish too I thought it would of been higher.

    Gliclazide and alcohol

    So it's my friends 30th tonight and we are off to Frankie and benny's for a meal. There will also be alcohol too and I'm worried sick.

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    Are you on gliclazide now? Thankfully my DN wouldn't let me start the drug without a machine. I'm only on 20mg 4 days a week at the moment...which is good as when this drug eventually stops working I will have to go onto insulin.
