i have only been dianosed for about 2 weeks i am sure that i have had type 2 for well over a year i was put on gliclazide 80mg 3 x a day i am finding it difficult to get my bg down to normal but when i do i feel really rough like i am having a hypo and have something sweet like fruit to make me feel better and raise my bg up to about 8 - 10 has anyone else had this problem
 
Hi norman,
All i can say is that it took roughly approx two years before my medication worked and suited me, to see results



before diagnoised I felt guite ill at times,stay strong on your learning journey :thumbup: best wishes DEBS everyone is
different!
 
You are having what is known as a 'false hypo'. Your body has got used to running much higher levels and is confused when your levels are lower. Don't have something sweet, otherwise you will confuse it more. Ok, you don't feel well with it at the moment, but your body will adjust to the lower levels soon and you won't feel like this any more.
