[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2115026, member: 506169"] Hi Whyme_again, I am so sad that you are having such a rotten time of it. I agree with Lamont D that it is a almost certainly caused by a mis-match between your medicines and the amount of Carbs and Protein you are eating which is causing your Blood Glucose levels to spike up and down. Both Carbs and Protein raise Blood Glucose, though Protein doe it much less and in a much more controlled and steady way. Only Fat has no effect on Blood Glucose which is why so many of us choose a Low Carb High Fat lifestyle! I saw that in another thread it was said that you have RH and that there was some doubt as to whether you really are Type 2 or Type 1 (LADA). Did you manage to persuade your GP to give you a definitive test? You are far from the only person to have problems with that. I know it is quite a long thread, but I suggest your read the thread called 'Newly Diagnosed and Confused' by IBEX82. She too has multiple conditions and takes Gliclazide and had problems in making her Health care professional adjust the dosage to match her (new) Low Carb High Fat diet. [B]This idea that the dietician has about eating carbs to match your medication doses is completely upside down! [/B] If you are indeed Type 2, then you should 'eat to your BG Meter. By that I mean eat types and quantities of meals which don't spike your BG levels. Then the medication and dosage should be adjusted to what you are eating! [B]If you eat to your medication, then you will probably find that for you Type 2 Diabetes will be a progressive disease and so you will require progressively higher doses of medication and perhaps even insulin injections eventually.
