[QUOTE="cugila, post: 100515, member: 15325"] Hi goanna. Diamicron MR (Gliclazide) is as you say normally prescribed for daytime ingestion. However, it is quite possible that the GP may be trying something out to resolve the early morning Bg level problem. Prescribing is sometimes not an exact science. As for a hypo in her sleep...as a T2 she would normally drop low and then Liver Dump so bringing the levels back up to normal levels. So there should be no problem there. It is usually T1's who have to be more careful about hypo's unless she is on other hypo inducing medication ? Insulin/Byetta/ Victoza ? A reason for high morning Bg levels could just be what your friend ate/drank before bedtime the previous night as well ? I think your friend should talk to the GP and clarify this doseage regime and the reasoning behind the unusual timing. [/QUOTE]
