I seem to recall somewhere that gliclizide can spead up islet cell death in LADA diabetes. It feels like that is the case for me.

My wife finds that upsetting as she's been saying She thinks I've been moody for years... Of wait, that's double oo not MODY....

Haha, i was on gliclazide for a week and it went very well (metformin do nothing for me even i took 3 pills per day) but i think on week 3 my BG went sky high again and GP prescribed me insulin straighaway the next day. Are you on insulin now?! And hpw long ago you off gliclazide?

I think we are on the same boat! On insulin since 15th april... which insulin are you on and how many unit did you inject per day? Im currently on the long acting insulin 10 to 14units per day (6/7 first thing in morning and 4/5 before dinner)
