The gliclizide packets lie unopened in my cupboard <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I think the reason you were advised to stop taking the metformin was in case your blood sugars dropped very quickly and you had a hypo.</blockquote>
