Been type 2 for over 20 years and on lots of different meds. Been on Gliclazide since September going up in doses . Not bringing my overnight sugars down!! D nurse talking bout insulin now I’m not happy . And advise please
 
Your fasting (morning) BG is always the last to come down see the thread on the Dawn Phenomenon. As you can see in my signature there are lots of medication options. It's taken almost 10 years to find what works for my body, and at several points one of the DN's a my GP's was pushing for insulin. Now I have no objections to insulin, but as a type 2 if my body is resistant to insulin isn't putting more of it into my body defeating the object? I'm at a sustainable (for me) level of lowish carb and slowly losing weight. My most recent HbAc1 equivalent was 52. I almost fell off of my chair, and made the DN check her calculations 3 times before I believed her :) . Have you made use of the free Dexcom trial? Even just the 10 free one will give you an idea of where you are at
