[QUOTE="Alisonjane10, post: 911587, member: 160262"] Hi [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER]. It's driving me nuts to be honest. Saw DN on Friday past for Hba1c bloods to be taken. Will be going back for results & medication review this coming Friday. Reduced my Gliclazide from 40mg BD to 20mg BD. Now taking 20mg OD. I decided to titrate downwards gradually to see how my BG would respond. Haven't had any since this morning prior to breakfast as my FBG was 6.4. But tonight, despite not taking any Gliclazide prior to eating, an hour after dinner my BG was 4.1, which leaves me with blinding headaches. I can't function very well that low. I like to be 5.0 or thereabouts. So, I can't blame the medication for the drop. Dinner was nicely balanced, baked cod fillet, mixed vegetables with grated cheese & a small potatoe Rosti. I have however, booked a telephone call on Friday evening to speak with my DN this coming Monday. I'm not planning to take even the 20mg dose after today. I will still take the prescribed Metformin until my DN advises otherwise. So, there should be no reason for the erratic BG this evening. Let's see what the rest of the week brings I suppose.
