I’m on Metformin and have just been put on Gliclazide just over a week ago. Previously I controlled by diet only, low carb (60 Grammes a day spread equally over three meals) but since I had covid  jab, an operation, wound infection, then covid my sugars went high and I couldn’t get them down. To complicate things, two days after starting on G I went on holiday and have been trying to eat as low carb as possible, but without my usual staples. Readings haven’t really changed since starting G. Then yesterday I got sick of sitting opposite my wife eating cakes and all the naughty stuff, so I had a low carb day off, not mad but I had bread, potato, ice cream. This morning my fasting reading is 3.0 below what I’ve kept having for the last week. Does G need carbs to work? I’m still on holiday so can’t contact my DN, soI thought I’d ask for advice. Fasting readings have been 14 since November, and very stable, this mornings was 11</blockquote>
