[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1676290, member: 256148"] Two years ago at diagnosis my HbA1c was102 (11.5%) it is now 46 (6.4%). Three months ago it was 48 (6.5%) and my lovely GP reduced my Gliclazide by 50%, today because my BG has continued to improve she stopped my gliclazide and will review in three months. I queried if coming off gliclazide (a sulphonylurea) would mean I no longer qualified for free test strips under NHS rules. Her reply, bless her, was - [B]"WE decide what's best for you."[/B] I've to continue to monitor my BG and if it seems to be rising to contact her and she'll try alternative meds as there are many. She's a very clued-up young lady when it comes to diabetes. I ought to pay tribute to DCUK and contibutors to discussions, as my adoption of a LCHF diet has played a very major role in my management of diabetes and I'm firmly convinced that had I continued to follow the initial NHS dietary advice (the eat badly plate) my BG levels would not have improved to their present level.
