I am glad I found this forum <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Her sugar level has been very good and her medication has been quite stable (i.e. no increase in dosage) hence why she has been on medication for the past 20 years and not injections (again please correct me if I am wrong <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />)My mum is generally very good in terms of staying away from sweets, cakes and fizzy drinks. However it is the carbs like bread, pasta, rice and noodles she struggle to stay away from.She has had a blood test last week and planning to see the GP for an update. I am planning to go in with her and ask the doctor for advice on how to lose weight and possibly reduce her medication.If we can convince the GP to omit Gliclazide, and stick to Metformin only, does it mean she would able to eat less carbs/diet and not go into hypo?! Cause that would be ideal!! I assume 80mg of Gliclazide isn't a lot?</blockquote>
