Salad as makes me vomit, all raw vegetables, nuts etc give me indigestion
I have been taking gliclazide with my breakfast. My waking bs is around 6 or 7. Could I take my gliclazide in the evening instead?

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

Are you on gliclizide MR (modified release ) or normal?
Im on MR and Ive always been warned that it has to be taken in the morning because of the way its released.
When I was first diagnosed, I was on normal gliclizide which was prescribed as a split dose - half in the morning half in the evening. Both worked fine for me in terms of overall control but the split dose produced some nocturnal hypos with high bounce back numbers in the morning - which was why I was switched to MR
