megan Well-Known Member Messages 369 Location weymouth Type of diabetes Type 1 Treatment type Insulin Dislikes dishonesty and ******** Nov 7, 2011 #1 i have been told that gliclazide contains clarithromycin derivatives? when i had clarithromycin (on two separate occasions)...it dropped my insulin total daily dose by a third in less than a week. i understand that its main side effect listed is severe hypos. this would have been the case had i not reduced my insulin. so the theory would be that gliclazide may be adventageous for me who had insulin resistence?
