My history is: 75yr old female T2D for about 4 years obese - (sadly not very good with diet, BMI 46) Test blood every morning on arising and it's usually pretty good[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=5]Medication:[/SIZE][/FONT] [INDENT][INDENT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=5]- metformin 500mg twice daily - was on gliclazide 40mg daily but we're tampered with that over time, 80mg twice daily, then once daily and then 40mg once daily. This was because I kept getting pseudo-hypos (yes really) and yet my fasting BG were always pretty stable.
