[QUOTE="dib, post: 270492, member: 30734"] Hi again Lorri, Quite surprised you have been given Glic with your profile, my DN prescribed a 40mg daily dose for me as a trial and as it made no difference at all to levels took me off it. I am now on 100mg Januvia daily as a last ditch attempt before going onto insulin, apparently it works by helping what insulin you have got circulating to carry on working for longer so doesn't hammer your pancreas. It is having a slight effect on peaks after food but not enough to get me under the NICE guidelines, so I expect to be starting insulin in the next month or so. I have had time to get used to the idea now so I think in a way it will be a relief, at least I will be able to relax the diet regime a little and enjoy my food again. Hope you get your proper diagnosis soon and let me know if you have to go on to insulin it would be really useful to compare notes. All the best dib :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
