From a low point of view I think different people react at different levels and even today different doctors differ in their advice as to what is a low or high. From my own perspective (type 2) I was on 80mg Gliclazides in the morning. About half an hour after tablet heading off for work (a brisk walk) I would find I was feeling wooly headed and dizzy, actually had to rest against a wall a few times. By measuring found my level was dropping down to around 3.9. Cut back from 80 to 40mg and now levels drop to high 4's or low 5's, so monitoring and medication changes help. Typically around 6.5 - 7.0. On the high side I started at 21.6 when first diagnosed and no I didn't feel any effects what so ever. If there is anything at all I think on occassions when my levels get a little high my eyes tend to feel a little twitchy and sensitive just like they do when I have mild hay fever but I think high symptoms are much less noticeable and probably the danger of continuing to do damage.Good luck with your studyRegardsJeremy</blockquote>
