I haven't changed my diet over the past 12 months or more, so I'm ruling that out. Been on statins for probably since I was diagnosed T2D in 2003 "because". The GP suggested stopping Gliclazide as I was now on insulin, I'm also on a concoction of tablets for non T2D related problems.

I have recently stopped taking Gliclazide as guided by my GP. The result has been extremely high blood sugar readings, mornings tend to be 13 and during the day are 17 - 19. I'm Type II, I am taking Metformin morning and night, Simvistatin at night and my current insulin is Levemir 25 units at...

Thank you

Since my initial post, things have miraculously improved :) My readings have dropped by 4 - 5! Yesterday morning I have a reading of 6.2 - that is totally unheard of! I'm so very pleased. I've reduced my food intake further, I've walked even more and my readings (for me) are in the sensible...

Thank you, I thought I was alone in this with the damned high count. I also thought what else can I cut from the list of carbs, your ideas have come in handy. Cauliflower Cheese is one of my favourites, bechamel sauce is one thing I'll have to change, the carbs in the flour obviously isn't going...

Thank you .... Paul.
