Message: <blockquote data-quote="lorri1" data-source="post: 270413" data-attributes="member: 42729">Hi, I am newly diagnosed, last Dec, type 2 although now awaiting hosp app to determine whether I am Type 1 or 2, due to being very slim and always very active etc in the meantime my medication is Glicazide, started off on 40mg then double to 80mg and now on 120mg twice a day, since the last increase my BG have finally started to come down considerably, however I am just reading Dr Bernstein and in the section of meds it says that the drug that make your pancreas make more insulin is not the way to go, i.e sulforylureas, I believe Glic to be in this category  I am now a little worried that my poor little pancreas is going to get battered to death before I get my proper diagnosis   I have not been offered any other drug mainly cuz I am told that the other drugs are for people that struggle with their weight and have other health issues  Does anyone have any advice on this please?Lorri</blockquote>
