[QUOTE="lowedb, post: 1360074, member: 365136"] My GP started me only on Gliclazide. A second GP said she wouldn't have done that first. Anyhow I was then started on Metformin, now 2 a day. However I was told that the idea is to drop the Gliclazide when I can because its overworking the already stressed pancreas. I've only been on the second Metformin for five days now, (and I missed one of those) so still taking the Gliclazide. I'd expect its more damaging to let the BG start going back up than to drop the Gliclazide. But bear in mind, I'm no kind of medical expert. In spite of what is said here, don't go changing meds based on what's said here alone. Discuss with medical professionals before doing anything. [/QUOTE]
