I am Type 2 diabetic on Metformin and Actos at the moment. I was at the diabetic clinic a few weeks ago, before I went I had been on holiday eating rubbish and even for a good few weeks before that was eating a lot of rubbish, there fore my sugar levels were quite high. For the last six weeks I have been eating sensibly and lost 1/2 stone. Before my levels were between 10 and 15 over the last few weeks have gone done to between 5 and 9. I have just received a letter from GP stating that doctor at diabetic clinic wants me to go on 1/2 a Gliclazide tablet over and above what I am taking now. I DONT WANT ANY MORE TABLETS I want to try and sort myself out with food and excersize. Do I HAVE to go on this just because doctor says so. I have an appointment with my GP on Friday to discuss but just wondered if any of you have any thoughts on the matter. It really depressed me when I got this letter as I thought I was finally getting control of my health as my cholesterol and blood pressure are now normal etc. :x
