[QUOTE="Garway, post: 1447259, member: 364515"] Update I have kept to lower carbs and have felt a lot better for it. A typical days blood readings have been before breakfast 4.8, before midday meal 7.8, before evening meal 5.8, and before bed 7.9 " 4.9 " 6.3 " 7.4 " 5.4 This is whilst taking 40 Gliclazide each morning. I do have a problem in that I am still losing weight and I have been told to raise the Gliclazide to 80 in the morning and 'eat normally' as before. I tried it and my after midday meal readings were 13.1 and 16.2 one and two hours after which made me feel ill. Today I am going to experiment by taking 40 at breakfast and 40 at lunch to see if it makes any difference to the number of carbs I can tolerate. I seem pretty safe untill lunch time when the steroids, still high, click in, so my thinking is a small increase in carbs at lunch and dinner may stop me losing weight annd the additional Glicazide taken then will cope with the increase. Thank you for everone's help, I really appreciate your advice and any further comments. [/QUOTE]
