I was diagnosed in sept 12 with type 2 diabetes. My doctor put me on gliclazide 160 twice daily. Over the course of the last 10 months this has been reduced to 40mg in the morning. However, since the gliclazide was reduced to 40mg my bg levels have steadily risen each day. My diet has not been changed. I was getting about two hypos a week and my level was roughly between 4.5 and 6. I rang my doctor and she has put me back on 80 mg per day but my levels today have risen to 15.6. I feel dreadful, very sweaty and blurred vision as well as really tired and shaky. Could this be down to the heat?
