[QUOTE="stuart264, post: 193775, member: 33831"] Has anyone else had problems with Glicazide, the diabetes nurse practitioner put me on it about 4 weeks ago initially because the dose of metformin I was on wasn't controlling my blood sugar and told me to take 80mg twice a day which she increased about 2 weeks ago to 160mg twice a day in addition to 500mg Metformin twice a day, it still isn't working fasting in a morning I usually test about 9-10, I have something to eat, take the pills and a few hours later my blood sugar seems to spike at around 14-15 then hovers around 10-11. I feel totally awful, tired all the time, raging thirst is back and the only time my blood sugar has ever come down is when I tried totally avoiding carbs for 24 hours. Only other strange incident was last week, I tested about 16 in the afternoon, went out to grab some groceries and started feeling rough at the checkout, instant sweats and world spinning and when I finally managed to get home I tested again and my blood sugar was 5.7, 10 point drop in the space of an hour cant be normal :( Does anyone have any advice because I did read on Wikipedia that there can be about 10% of people that don't absorb these drugs properly and I am seriously worried here, trying my best to control my blood sugar but it seems no matter what I do it stays just as high and hardly ever comes down.
