[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1423368, member: 21149"] Hi. Can you give us some idea of your BMI and weight and whether you are already low-carbing. Gliclazide and Sitagliptin would normally be prescribed when you are suspect as being Late onset T1 (LADA) and the pancreas is failing. Being slim and/or having lost weight recently can be indicators. If you have excess weight then these tablets may not be an ideal solution and a low-carb diet would be the first stop. For those with a lot of excess weight there are other injectables that can sometimes help. BTW, your GP is stretching a point when he says your pancreas fails as you get older. It may do a bit but there are plenty of old folk with excellent BS levels. [/QUOTE]
