I am well controlled on Trulicity (Type2) and most days before breakfast i am about 5.1-5.5 , i take a 40mg gliclazide with my breakfast and sometimes when i am out i feel as if my blood has dropped (about 2 hrs later), should i stop taking the gliclazide ? It has happened at home and my blood was around 4.5-4.7 . Anyone else experience this ?
