[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2099704, member: 345386"] Chris, as the others have said, it's worthwhile just looking at your bloods when you feel this way, however, I might be inclined to guess (and let's face it it can only be a guess at the moment), that your body is trying to get used to its new "normal" of taking medication, and so on. The Metformin you are using is fairly gentle on blood glucose levels. It really works by helping your body to work better, and handle your own insulin better than it has been. Your Gliclazide is designed to push your blood glucose down, so you are likely running lower than you were before. Our bodies like to work to routines, and it will do its best to keep us in our usual "comfort zone", so "helping" you by giving you signals like this could be seen as being a very short term positive. I'd guess your body is just getting used to your nerw normal. If I am correct, provided you're looking after yourself - eating well, sleeping and so on, I'd expect you to start perking up soon. I know I've expressed that in a hyper-simple way, but it's the essence of it. Fingers crossed for you. [/QUOTE]
