[QUOTE="Sparklygal, post: 316346, member: 44855"] I started taking Gliclazide 80mg morning and evening last thursday. I don't know if it is supposed to work immediately but it's not made much difference so far. Now I've been prescribed them on top of my Metformin 2,500mg a day I am starting to think I am on the slippery slope to insulin. :( My reaction to carbs is getting worse and I know I need to stop eating them, I'm a true "carboholic" sugar addict, call it what you will. I think even if I ate "sensibly" as recommended by dietician at diabetic clinic (her diet was 2000 cals a day which includes 8 portions of carbs) that it's a bad idea to be on a drug that stimulates the pancreas to make insulin I think my problem has been the OVER-production of insulin and my resistance to it, if it is forced to release more it'll burn itself out and I'll need insulin anyhow. so a low carb diet is my only answer if i wanna avoid insulin as long as i possibly can. Opinions, please? Sorry this is a bit rambling, it's late and I am tired but wanted to post this before I shut off my computer and go to bed. [/QUOTE]
