[QUOTE="CollieBoy, post: 923097, member: 26127"] [USER=40080]@Adam63[/USER] I agree with you, I too got the HbA1c too low whilst on Insulin/Gliclazide but when I demonstrated that my tight control did not result in hypos, my consultant backed me against my practice nurse. Ask for references for your GP's research. and compare yourself to like-situationed patients, rather than someone who has been forced down to low levels by agressive medication! [USER=200976]@Inour[/USER] Gliclazide is a drug for T2s which encorages the pancreas to produce more insulin (It won't work if your pancrease is already shut down) HbA1c is an approximation of a weighted average iof BG over the last 120 days, however it isn't influenced by hypos, just highs so a widely fluctuating BG, as can be caused by over insulin use or gliclazide can produce the same hbA1c as a well controlled daiabetic. so the SD (standard Deviation) of BG values is important as well as the HbA1c [/QUOTE]
