Hi everyone,
It's quite a while since I posted on here...My recent A1c check was the highest one yet, equivalent to 8.8...
Although diagnosed as type 2 over 6 years ago, I have avoided medication, (so far). I'm not overweight ( barely 9 stone).
However, at this recent review, I was advised to start taking 1 x 40mg Gliclazide every morning with breakfast...
After taking them for only 9 days, my readings have been very impressive. An example, at 4.20pm this afternoon, my reading was 4.6. At about the same time on Friday it was 5.1 Well below what I would have expected.
Are these tablets really that good?
Please excuse my question but it is my first experience of meds for this condition.
Regards, Malc. (aged 74)
I have just noticed that on my profile, it states that I am 'insulin - dependent'. I have NEVER been insulin dependent, I would like that statement to be removed! Please!
