[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2260803, member: 355878"] If you are taking Gliclazide then you must not do low carb - it says so on the information leaflet - but there is no reason not to reduce carbs. You should have been prescribed a meter and test strips as Gliclazide can cause hypos - but you might be off it by the time they can organize it. Low carb can sort out type two, so if you are an ordinary uninteresting type of diabetic then reducing the intake of carbs will most likely sort you out in short order - though you might feel a bit wobbly as your blood glucose levels drop - its the brain having a bit of a tantrum as the nice sugary bath fades away. Your eyesight might be a bit blurry - that is the change in sugar levels too, but it is most likely a temporary thing - if you need glasses try a pair of cheap readers rather than expensive prescription ones, as they will be no use in a little while as things settle down.
