[QUOTE="achike, post: 1354903, member: 73407"] 1. Metformin tablets at this stage of your diabetes is minimum of 500mg with breakfast, lunch and evening meals which is 1,500mg daily. BNF (British National Formulary) recommends maximum of 2,000mg daily in divided doses. 2. Gliclazide is a short-acting sulfonylurea used in overweight diabetics. As you pointed out it acts by argumenting insulin secretion from the pancreas but there is no evidence that it burns down the pancreatic beta-cells even in 10 years time you quoted. Please see your doctor for prescription review plus take reasonable exercise for control because you are on high carbohydrate diet.
