Have I cut the carbs too much, too soon?

[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 263615, member: 40343"] Hi John I would say you have two options. Glicklazide can and does produce hypos because it is an insulin stimulating drug so simplistically if it makes your pancreas send out more insulin than is needed to be processed a hypo condition can arise so you do need to be careful. It is a bit more complex than that but lets not worry too much about the finer details as avoiding hypos is the serious thing. In my opinion you should either up your carbs so that the amount "matches" the power of the glicklazide or you could reduce the glicklazide dosage but of course before doing that you should speak with your gp and explain you have been reducing carbs and take his advise. Really it comes down to your personal preference of the balance you want between diet and meds. You do need to get that balance right however! [/QUOTE]
