[QUOTE="desidiabulum, post: 2368825, member: 39515"] Sorry to hear about your childhood conditioning -- I know how deeply engrained it can become. I well remember being forced to stay sitting at the table until plate had been cleared, no matter how cold and congealed the food became -- but now I can never bring myself not to clear the plate. The odd thing is how in many other cultures you are not meant to clear your plate if you are a guest because it implies that you want more. I think the advice on BG readings is spot-on. I would suggest discussing with your doctor whether it might be worth spacing out your gliclazide dosage between morning and evening (or even repeating morning dosage in evening) just to see whether it makes a difference. Timing of dosage can sometimes be as important as amount -- the body ingests in different ways at different points in the day and can vary a lot between individuals (as I'm sure all our T1 friends will confirm). I suspect that stress is behind a lot of your high BGs, but if experimenting with timing and size of dosage (as directed by doctor) can mitigate some of the impact it might be worth a shot. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
