Hi everyone
I have been T2 for about 8 years treated with Gliclazide. I came off of it about 5 years ago as LC got my HBA1c down. I needed to start it again about 2 years ago when it crept back up. Now I’m on 40mgx2 day. I also low carb.
last HBA1c was 43. I was told to ‘eat normally and don’t test’. Admittedly I indulged over Christmas my BG were off the chart... when I had a very modest amount of rice I went up to 31!!
Now I am back to strict LCHF for the last two weeks and my morning readings are still 12-15. It’s just gone wild.
I’m going in tomorrow for bloods and ketone check and the dr mentioned the possibility of insulin.
have I literally killed my pancreas over xmas?
