Thank you for all of your comments. I have had no lifestyle change in the last six months or so although I have been suffering from a cold/flu recently and the kids generally bring home a bug or two all the time. However, and in order to try to compensate for this, I have significantly reduced...

HI all I have been type 2 for some 6 years now. Since diagnosis I have been on one 30mg glilazide a day, the two a day, then one gliclazide with 1 x 500g metformin until I ended up about 18 moths ago on two 30mg gliclazide a day with two 850g metformin, one in morning one in evening after...
