I have reactive hypoglicemia for 20 years ( along with type2 developed during Covid) and cos i couldnt tolerate Metformin they gave me Gliclizide ( 80mg) Been week now, the longer i take it the worse i feel. On wesnsday i had a bad hypo despite i ate carbs 3x a day. Easily become angry, sleepy, fatique, zero motivation, depression, knee pain so on wensday morning i took 40mg last time. This late evening i even had a bigger hypo so i ate apple, then few mins again hunger so ate yoghurt and a bit of beans, still feelings of hypo, i was worried i become unconscious in sleep, now i still feel hypo but its getting better.
So no matter how much carbs i eat, it just keeps my bs down….especially when doing activity, thats when i have to constantly eat. At some point i felt like being close to mental breakdown, crying, eventrough i ate as i say.
I spoke to pharmacist and told her how i feel , she asked if i measured my bs i said no so she basically said either pick up the monitor or no other medication.
Now here is a problem.
If i take this Gliclazide again so i could measure it i might feel even worse, and another few days spend in misery just laying bed instead of working and going to gym. Just thinking about it makes me cry. So i dont know what should i do?
Maybe i should just rat like pig , pasta, coke, candies etc and lay in bed and become even more obese? Or should i request different medication from Dr and not pharmacist? Or should i change Gp?
What would you do in my case?
