[QUOTE="JAD337, post: 34656, member: 11313"] I've been on gliclazide for nearly 5 years and have had a number of hypos, certainly in the early years. Whilst your dosage could be too high, there are several other factors that can contibute to creating a hypo situation. What you ate in your last meal (ie the amount of carbs), when you last ate and what level of exercise you've been doing are the three factors that seemed to affect me most. I found that taking the drug at regular times, eating at regular times and controling the amount of carb intake kept me on an even keel most of the time. If I was very active, eg playing a full round of golf, then I would maybe eat a little more in my meal, or have a snack such as an apple or oat bar during the round. Hopefully you will get some sort of warning senation before you get too low. Whilst they are distressing you do get used to them, but the best advice is to try and avoid them. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
