For the moment your body is dealing with what you are doing to it but if you keep eating like that it will not be able to deal with it for long. Over 7.8 is the level that damage to your body begins at. The more time you spend above that, the more damage accumulates. 11.5 is not OK.
Yes it is normal to be in the low 4's.
So it is normal to be on the low 4s then?
When I was at this level I did not feel very well tho
Yes, starting with the gliclazide.Thanks
Should I be asking my GP to try and reduce the meds
Because if you aren't on the glic then it is unlikely that you will get bad hypos so it will be easier to control your BG by diet plus metformin. You won't need to keep having extra glucose 'just in case' and this in turn will help stabilise things for you.Ok
Why?
Because your lower carb diet is helping to lower your blood sugars so you need less medication. It's exactly what most of have done to become diet controlled. As your bloods get lower by diet you don't need the drugs (or at least you need fewer) go see your doc..but if he says eat more carbs to counteract the effects of the drugs(not unknown) then find a new doctor...Ok
