Mmm well, started off in April 17 with a HbA1c of 78 and put on 80mg of Gliclazide a day. (had two infections at the time, sinusitis and costochondritis) two months later another test and HbA1c of 60, another month later and HbA1c of 44 (3 months clear of infections) Gliclazide then lowered to...

Well yes it is on the high side. We do place our faith and life in the hands of the medical practitioners but we also have to help ourselves. You have said that you have lost two stone, are you following a diet? Reviews are normally done at 3 months for HbA1c as it gives an account of your last...

Well done. [emoji4]

Hi Nic, what did your doctor say about your bs being high and Gliclazide?

Hi Nic, I think you need to go back to your doctor, sometimes drugs don’t suit us and they need to be changed. Good luck Tracy

Hi bignic147 I was on 80mg of gliclazide when I was diagnosed in April. My HbA1c was 78 when diagnosed and after 4 months my gliclazide was reduced to 40mg and now I have been taken off it as giving me too many hypos. Put on metformin and playing havoc with my tummy! It did take about 3-4 days...

I have started taking it now and two days in, stomach cramps, nausea, constipation to diarrhoea in a few hours so maybe I won’t be on it for long.

I lost weight (1 stone) whilst on Gliclazide but also have cut out pasta rice and white bread completely, so that might be the cause.

Mmm which one do I pick? ‘God, what do you eat?’ ‘Life must be so awkward’ I always reply ‘lettuce’ just to see their face.

Thank you, I am glad someone can explain the differences of these drugs.

The nurse said I was put on Gliclazide to bring my HbA1c down as it was high(78, not as high as others on here). The year before at my ‘wellwoman’ check my HbA1c was 54 and I was told normal reading and in my records it says ‘no further action needed’ I can now access this online so can now...

Thank you Rachox that has reassured me a little more. What I am finding hard to get my head around is that I was on 40mg of Gliclazide a day and the nurse wants me to take (after a build up of 4 weeks) 2000mg a day. Would you mind telling me what other health benefits it has.

The nurse did say expect diarrhoea, wind, stomach cramps and possibly sickness.

I have been back to my surgery today as I have been having a hypo a day for 5 days now. The nurse wants me to come off Gliclazide 40mg and go on Metformin starting off with 2 tablets a day and building up to 4 a day. My last HbA1c was on 12/10/17 and was 37. Am I wrong in thinking do I need this...

The only supplement I take is Omega 3 oil because I don’t eat fish.

I like the bit about the ice cream and lollies not your blood sugar!
