[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2219611, member: 513948"] Lots of positives in that regard and I’ve been feeling a lot better in general. One of my main problems just now is if I try to do any exercise I have a hypo, not sure what I can do about that apart from wait till I’m off gliclazide?[/QUOTE] Agree with that one, as hard as it is, pushing hard to remove that medicine will make a world of difference. I started at 87 HBA1c and was lucky they only started me on Metformin with the threat of something else, i really hit the diet hard and got it right down to 33 quickly. Same as you, early 30's - bit of a shock. I have had to give up loads of food i love and 6 months on its still hard, but I don’t find myself reaching for bread like I used to. If you have the opportunity I would do my best to focus on the next 8 weeks with diet as best you can, if you get a little lower they will probably let you drop the gliclazide then making larger changes to diet is much simpler to get the numbers right down [/QUOTE]
