It’s a hypo inducing medication so it can be dangerous if you don’t, especially if you drive, so your nurse does have a valid point. I haven’t been on it for a long time now but if I didn’t eat after I’d taken it I would get serious hypo in the mid 2s. I know you’re struggling testing so won’t go into that but the sooner you can get the hang of that the better as you are taking Gliclizide.Maybe you could speak to your nurse again and ask if you could try staying on the one dose for a while to see if that’s enough to bring your BG down?I used to take mine with my breakfast & evening meal - usually 8 hrs apart, can you change to having your snack as your breakfast and take one then and then the other with your evening meal as you are doing now?</blockquote>
