[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1815428, member: 196898"] Sounds more like blood pressure rather than a sugar related problem. You stood up quickly, and then presumably hurried to the ground zero site, and this sudden increase in stress could have triggered a reaction. I get this sometimes when I stand up suddenly to answer the doorbell, say, and it is quite usual for this to occur after a lengthy period of inertia such as lying in the bed or in a hot bath. A hypo effect due to gliclazide for a T2D is usually fairly slow acting in my experience, and Glic has a half life in the body of around 6 hours, so will have lost most of its effectiveness if you took the dose the night before say. Also in my experience is that glic needs you to eat carbs to trigger the demand for insulin else it has nothing to make the pancreas produce insulin anyway. I find that taking glic to combat an already elevated bgl is not very effective, and although it is a common held view that glic [U]Forces[/U] the pancreas to overstimulate, glic itself does not stimulate anything, it merely amplifies what is there/ I am not a medical person, so I am only giving a peronal experience here. Talk to your doctor about this as there may be other causes to consider. [/QUOTE]
