Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 about 2 years ago now, was put on a high dose of gliclazide +metformin when I came out of hospital, I continued with them for quite a while dispite forever having bad stomach problems, then took myself off them altogether, I know some will think it was a stupid thing to do, but I was so fed up of not daring to go out because of having a bad stomach that I thought this isnt life, I would rather take the risks and not take the tablets. I told my gp what I had decided and she said they would keep a close check on my sugar levels and they have been fine, normally around 5, but just lately I am having big problems with my sugar dropping too low, yesterday in town I felt weird, felt maybe my sugar was too low so drank some lucozade, then when I got home I checked my sugar and it was 2.8! I just cant understand why its dropping too low when I am not on any medication. anyone have any ideas ?
