Hello :wave:
I am having a great deal of trouble trying to get my blood glucose to stabilise. Gliclazide seems to make me feel very ill but my doctor wants me to take it.
She's recently given me a bg monitoring thingy which I've found very useful.
With 2 metformin twice a day my readings over two days are like this:
8 - 6.7 - 9.1 - 8.5 - 7.1 - 7.7. 7.8 - 9.2
With Gliclazide - 1/2 tablet taken twice a day over two days I get this:
11.3 - 10.8 - 4.7 - 11.6 - 15.2 - 6.3 -5.9 -6.8 - 9.1 - 13.7 - 10.6 - 7.1
With Gliclazide my bg seems all over the place and one minute I feel very cold then I feel warm and shaky then cold and achey and weak. When I was first diagnosed nearly 3 months ago my bg was 24 so it's come down quite a lot but I was shocked to see it at 15.2 with a ketone warning yesterday.
Any help or advice would be gratefully received please.
