[QUOTE="Erin, post: 735426, member: 33777"] Hi, My gliclazide pill is 80mg (tiny). I have been taking it with Metformin (850mg 3x per- day ) the last one before going to sleep -and other drugs for 5 years. The bottle says take one gliclazide per day, but I think that is not as good as halving it -- one half for lunch and one half before supper. That way I avoid hypoglycemia-- 3.8 and lower, , which in my experience is the worst complication making me very sick in comparison to hyperglycemia rarely of say 11 at most. My average numbers have been very good (6-7) and my doctors is very pleased. I have not looked up the half-life of gliclazide in case that makes any difference. [/QUOTE]
