[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2126045, member: 372717"] My Dad's 89, and has been on gliclazide (and not metformin) for a number of years. It seems to work for him (as did 3 months of low carb when he came to stay with me last Xmas. I had all his blood sugars in single figures, and most below 8.) For him, pretty well anything that keeps him off insulin is a good idea, as he's probably only got a few more years. (We're planning for his 90th birthday now, but realistically he's not going to get much beyond that.) But I imagine that there are a number of different types of T2 (wasn't there some study recently that had 7 or more types of diabetes) and I'm guessing that gliclazide works better for some of these than others. And if you inject insulin as a treatment for T2, then surely taking gliclazide is the step below that? [/QUOTE]
